Very, very nice!  Love the splatter in the foreground - complimentary colors blue/orange make things POP.  Sky is a tad dark for my taste - looks like a sunny day with maybe storm clouds.  White in the bottom right ALMOST takes my eye out of the painting.  Love the steeple peaking out from th tops of the trees - I'll bet there's a church over thar!  Different heights on the window shashes in the upstairs of the house shows some activity ie: windows open.  A lot going on in this painting - very, very nice - I really like it!

You've already forgotten those days in the east when you could see a strom brewing but it was oddly sunny and balmy still? Too much NM stirred with old brain cells.

Is this from the same area as "Dock and Pioneer Way"? I like the way you handled the street in this painting.  Your cars are great, I like their shapes. In Forida in the afternoon, we see long shadows and big storms brewing in the distance. I enjoyed this painting.

Hi Sharon,

Same town. I've almost showed ya the whole town! Not quite, but I probably will. When the town is 20,000 and on an island, well it has good subjects. I just want Richard's sunshine.

Well, we get about 320 days a year of sunshine here, so a sky other than cloudless and cerulean blue is hard to imagine.

I guess I'm spoiled

Cool shadows, warm light, feels just right.

Good job.

(remember that song, 'don't fence me in'?

You didn't.

I wonder why you have the power poles leaning so far to the right... I hope the winds from that upcoming storm aren't that strong!  ;-)  That sky makes me want to run for cover - it looks like a pretty ominous storm!  ;-)  I also like the splatter effect you used on the street foreground.  :)
