Good choice!
I'm headed to my car service appointment this morning and will be thinking of this painting while I am there - life imitating art.
Ha ha:-) yours truly choice between waiting room and outdoor painting made for some "Qualitiy Time";
to say the least.
Love it! Made me miss upstate NY....
Man, this is what art is all about: fleeing the small anesthesias that numb our daily existence, going outside and looking intently with fresh eyes. And where we find little poetry in our immediate surroundings, heightening it with colors and additions supplied by our own nervous system. I admire your initiative!
