Huntsville Alley

 14" x 11" oil on linen panel

We were so fortunate to spend a couple weeks recently in beautiful Huntsville, AL. We stayed in the Five Points neighborhood and took quite a few walks because the weather was unbelievably beautiful. I've always liked neighborhood alleys because they often lead someplace interesting, and their narrowness means good shadows. This one from Huntsville is a great example.

My wife took this picture one fall afternoon. I not only liked the composition, but also enjoyed the challenge of painting the old black car in front of the dark shadow area under the awning.

We were riding bikes on the bike path around East Dundee last summer and passed this beautiful house. I loved how the sunshine and shadows fell on the white frame house.

I painted this one from a picture of a backstreet in Woodstock. I took the picture because I liked the shadows on those old doors, and the interplay between the organized background and the crispy old truck.
