Jeff Rowland - We've Got Tonight
This piece uses the iconic image of Tower Bridge as the
setting for the romance. I see it in that the couple have
been walking along the bank of the Thames , the rain not
bothering them, they stop to say something to each other
and she is pulled into a passionate clinch. However all my
pieces are open to interpretation and I want everyone who
looks at them to draw their own conclusions as to the
accompanying story.
Even though the painting is set against a cold and rainy
evening, the couple give the impression that they are
warm, safe and together. I have always tried to have a
small part of the composition painted in a warmer tone;
whether that be the reflection on the rain soaked street
from a street light, the reflection of light from a warm
restaurant or it may well be the colour of the coats on the
characters .This warmth gives a feeling of sanctuary from
the heavy rain, without the warm tones the piece could be
conceived as a cold composition.
