Aldama

Measures: 42 x 30 cm

"Aldama" captures the enchanting atmosphere of a historic street in San Miguel de Allende, beautifully rendered in watercolor and ink. This piece depicts a typical morning on Calle Aldama, renowned for its colonial architecture and cobblestone streets, as a few early risers walk along the path, basking in the soft morning light.

The composition skillfully uses a blend of precise ink lines to define the architecture and loose watercolor washes to convey the vibrant, fleeting sky and the dappled light on the buildings. The color palette is rich yet subtle, with warm tones that suggest the sunrise and cooler shadows that add depth and contrast.

This painting is an invitation to wander through the tranquil streets of San Miguel, feeling the quiet pulse of the city as it awakens. The mixture of mediums and styles beautifully conveys both the timeless charm of the town and the ephemeral beauty of light and color at the start of a new day. "Aldama" is a tribute to the peaceful moments that urban landscapes can offer, providing a window into the soul of the city.
