Media: Watercolor
Size: 8x10 in
It was the thin slivers of alternating shadows and sunlight that
first caught my attention when I was walking down Main Street in
Canandaigua NY. The buildings in this area are historic and they contain
a lot of interesting shops. As I was walking I noticed painting in the
window of an art gallery and spent a few moments contemplating how the
artist painted it. This painting was challenging
because there was a lot of detail in the original scene. I placed most
of the emphasis on the sidewalk and the shops on the right. I was
tempted to add more detail to the cars but I realized that would be a
mistake because they would compete with the rest of the painting.
