Eye Candy for Today: Edward Seago scene of Rome
Ponte Sant’Angelo, Rome, Edward Seago; 20 x 30 in. (51 x 77), link is to Bonham’s auction from 2019. I assume it’s currently in a private collection.
Edward Seago, a British painter active in the early to mid 20th century, is one of my favorite landscape painters. I particularly love his brushy, painterly application of paint, as is evident in this view of the famous bridge in Rome.
Emilio Ocón y Rivas
Emilio Ocón y Rivas was a 19th century Spanish artist specializing marine subjects, perhaps unsurprisingly as he lived in Malaga, the bustling port city on Spain’s Medterranean coast. He is considered responsible for founding the School of Marine Artists there.
He had a particular touch for atmosphere and his paintings show the moods of the sea, sunny and tranquil, stormy and dark.
Cautionary note to contemporary painters: Ocón died of lever disease brought on by the ingestion of paint – due to his habit of bringing his brushes to a point in his mouth.

This is his interpretaion of Spring from the first of these series (and my favorite), published in 1896. This epitomizes all of the grace and decorative flair we associate with the Czech artist.
There is a page devoted to the work in the Mucha Foudaiton website.
Taking that image as my cue for color fidelity, I found an...

Not the final text, but this is roughly what I had in mind when planning the composition.
No text version
I usually paint a small colour study for each piece, sometimes more than one if I'm not sure about the overall mood. Here I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted. The top one is a sketch for a previous piece :)
Initial digital sketch to figure out the general 3D blocks.
