Gallarija fil-Marsa

A whisper of sunlight on limestone wall,
Wrought iron shadows rise and fall.
Two potted plants in quiet repose,
Watch the street where memory flows.

This watercolour belongs to the urban realist genre, capturing Maltese vernacular architecture.
Loose, transparent washes create a delicate balance of light and form.
The gentle palette and soft shadows evoke a warm Mediterranean ambiance.
The technique relies on layering washes with minimal detailing to retain fluidity and charm
