wde 15-Sept Cafe at Arles

Tres had hosted the wde and had posted a few images from places that Van Gogh had visited/painted...
By some vague coincidence, earlier that week, I was flipping through a book "Van Gogh - The Complete Paintings" by a publisher named Taschen... It has all the paintings by Van Gogh...
And it was wonderful that some images for that weeks wde were from places linked to him...
I decided to do the Cafe at Arles... its kind of more leaning towards the original since I painted the top half in blue... kind of ignoring the light coming from the street lights(of modern era)...
This is 12.5cms*18cms, acrylic on sketchpaper...
