Shade

"Shade"
18 x 24 Acrylic on canvas

   This painting was developed from piecing together a few elements. The building and the Crape Myrtles were actually from a trip I took to Baton Rouge, LA.  I rearranged a few things to make a more pleasant seen.

   I needed to add more to this scene and felt that an empty bench was not enough. My wife is a avid reader and can be found in this pose most of the time. This made it easy for me to capture with that look of being totally committed to the story.

   The shade that was made by the tree left sunlight dancing on the walls and ground. What a great place to sit and enjoy a good book and fresh air.
