I've been wanting to do a painting of my home town, and here it is! A special thank you for the wonderful photo to Ga Girl on Flickr for the gorgeous picture.
Thank you so much Dominique, Liz and Lauren! I was happy with the results but I really want to try this painting again in watercolor and see what it looks like to lose some edges with the sides of the buildings and just play with it.
Hi Rachel, Passed by and saw the Driving Horse, that is a great painting, as is all of your Paintings - Great style and talent. Happy brushing. Pete,Theartbrush
I used to live there and saw this view every day I drove to work. I miss the wide Assembly St. and all the University buildings. It really is a beautiful little city and you did a great job painting it.
What a beautiful creation. This is where I want to be right now. The colors are so comforting, and even through I've never been there before, there's a sense of familiarity. Love it.
