Shady Street

Although the weather continues to be an issue here in flyover land, work can always continue in the studio. This winter has been particularly busy, with a half dozen or so new studio paintings coming along. This view of a residential street in autumn is fresh off the easel. It is a 9x12 oil on panel, inspired by the lowering autumn sunlight and the way changing leaves can light up like lanterns. In a tree-lined neighborhood the contrasts between light and dark, warm colors and cool, superimposed on the geometric shapes of streets and sidewalks, the patterns become intriguing.
