bus stop 14x11


I started this picture this morning.............Fall River used to stop at every single child's home but this year began grouping the kids for fewer stops. My house is on this corner so I see them and their parents morning and afternoon. We had a storm this weekend so I worked on the design for this and other things. Already the days are noticeably longer which lifts my heart and helps with painting. Sometimes, with complicated pictures I start with a fairly detailed colored underpainting.................I wanted the shadows to be warm so I used a warmer brown. The season is fall and the time early morning.
