Manchester Shower
Size:24 x 24 in.
This original watercolor painting by Peter J. Rodgers, "Manchester Shower"measuring 16" x 16", is an evocative depiction of a cityscape bathed in the warm, atmospheric glow of a sunset. Set in a black wooden frame, the artwork showcases a rain-soaked street scene, where figures clutching umbrellas hurry past under the towering clock tower of a grand, historic building.
Peter Rodgers’ distinctive style is characterized by his ability to blend reflections and shadows, capturing the essence of city life. In this piece, the wet pavement reflects the surrounding lights, creating a shimmering effect that brings the scene to life. The use of bold, strong colors in the sky, with hues of orange, red, and gold, adds vibrancy to the painting while balancing the cooler tones of the silhouetted figures and the architecture.
Influenced by the works of John Singer Sargent and Joseph Zbukvic, Rodgers excels in using watercolors to capture atmospheric, rainy scenes. His fluid brushstrokes and transparent layers of paint lend themselves perfectly to the damp reflections and moody, overcast skies that are so integral to his urban landscapes. The artist often paints rain-soaked cities like New York and Newcastle, filling them with bustling crowds that reflect the energy and motion of the urban environment.
Rodgers, who lives and works in Newcastle, draws on memories from his childhood, especially visits to Newcastle Quayside with his father, which inspire many of his works. His pieces have gained popularity beyond the UK, with his art now collected in Europe, Canada, and the USA.
Despite the potentially melancholic subject of rainy streets and umbrellas, Rodgers imbues his work with warmth and optimism. His skill in capturing light through watercolor allows each painting to convey a sense of hope and vibrancy, reminding viewers that even on a rainy day, there is beauty and life to be found. This painting, with its glowing city lights and bustling figures, perfectly embodies that spirit.
