This painting was an exercise for me. It is not the way I typically paint, as it is much tighter than usual, but sometimes it is good to heighten my sense of observation. I do this with my street painting projects as well to keep up with my drawing skills. I will do this from time to time, but I enjoy a freer form of impressionism to this type of painting. Probably has something to do with my level of patience and concentration. I came to the conclusion that I maybe trying too hard for exactness instead of capturing the essence of the subject.

Wow, this is fantastic! The reds at the top, and the colorful reflections are fabulous. Very nice, Lorelle! I'll see you at your "By the Artists' Hand" exhibit.
