"Piacabucu, Alagoas"

In Brazil's least developed state, Alagoas, horse and buggy is still a primary form of transportation. This is from a little fishing village called Piacabucu at the mouth of Rio Sao Francisco. It's like a place out of the 19th century, with the cobblestone street and wooden sidewalks where there are any. There were a couple old fishermen just chillin' while sitting in a doorway, the fishing fleet, which I also painted, and this guy in his buggy that I just had to paint. Notice the strong violet tones in the shadows of the building against the strong blue for the shadows by the horse's legs and the muted violets in the cobblestones.
