A lot of my work over the last couple of years has been traditional landscape, quite a bit of it outdoors. Some of my plein air work has been on city streets, though. Like many cities ours has a kind of entertainment and bar district with an eclectic assortment of cafes, performance venues and watering holes, and I spend some of my outdoor time there, sketching.

Outdoor work has led to a number of cityscapes, including "Positively 4th Street,' showing the facade of a well-known coffeehouse (above), and "The Mews," showing a performance venue just next door (below).

The first is from late afternoon, when the street is in open shade while the second is a view of the same street in morning light. Both of these occupy space in the same late Victorian building.
