Here's another in my series on subjects from downtown Austin. One thing I'm especially enjoying about doing these is the unexpected things that go on. Trying to simplify a downtown street scene can be overwhelming. It's necessary to edit and look for the important shapes and values. As I get into them I discover unusual lighting effects that take place inside the canyons of buildings that make the painting much more fun. Light gets reflected and bounced around in surprising ways. I also like choosing a few selected humans to be placed for scale, interest and directing the eye.
