A Town and Its Habitive

Oil painting by William Halle depicting A Town and Its Habitive. 1990.

This painting depicts a male figure in the foreground, dressed in dark clothing with a white shirt. He is standing in a park and two paths are shown directly behind him, one horizontal, where a bench and a litter bin are located to his left. The other path, vertical leads to the a vibrant and colourful depiction of a town extending towards a hillside. The buildings are painted with loose brushstrokes, giving the scene an impressionistic feel. The sky above is dynamic, with patches of blue and white clouds. There is a small area of water to the top right of the painting, were a sailboat appears.
