#83 - 12th Ave. S. & Powderhorn Terrace


#83 - 12th Ave. S. & Powderhorn Terrace
14x11 oil on panel
The shadows here were amazing. There a few short streets at the North end (I think) of Powderhorn Park that I hadn't seen before. I was over there taking a look at the park with the idea of coming back to paint the Midtown Market building tower that rises above the trees in the park. The lighted sign looks pretty great at twilight. But....I often get distracted by the alleys in any neighborhood that I'm in and then this happens.

Friends Chris and Jen own the place at the front right end of this alley. There was a baby shower there for our daughters when we were expecting. We spent a lot of fun evenings in the back yard to the right of that garage...bbqs, playing music, etc.

This one was a commission and the preference was for a winter scene. Because it was a relatively mild winter, and I had to wait a few weeks for enough snow before I could start this one. We finally got enough for the picture, but over the course of the winter the snow never really amounted to more this this at any one time. I think winter enthusiasts were a little sad, but I have to admit I was okay with it.
