Village Street # 12 after Kevin MacPherson





11 inch X 14 inch oil on stretched canvas



This is different for me.  I saw this street scene in MacPherson's book and really liked the colors in the light and shadows.    It looks simple, but I can't believe how long it took me to finish.  I kept adjusting the light until I finally like the way light seems to reflect around the corner and on the street.
