Fifth of July


I painted this from a photo I took of the clean and empty Water Sreet the day after the fourth of July. The contrast between the two days is quite remarkable. The street is a zoo on the 4th. All of the colors were soft and pastel looking. The buildings and windows reduced to small strokes and blocks of color, when looked at from this angle. 8x10 oil on canvas

  2. Hi Kelley, So good to hear from you! Thanks to Will and a neighbor named Trevor I got this going. I am pretty slow at learning stuff on the computer. There are a lot of things I'd like to add and will eventually. I'm really having fun with it though, especially when people leave me comments!
