Truckload of Gifts

 

As I walked along Main Street in Parkville, this scene captured my attention through the window.  One of my favorite shops, I took a quick spin and picked up a couple of "must haves".  As I checked out, I asked for permission to paint - and was warmly welcomed!  On my way to another location, it took me a day to get back - oh but when I did - this was so much fun to paint!!  Still in progress - this shot was taken before the "finish work" - and I didn't get another one!  What a special, one of a kind place to paint - I will remember this experience forever!  Thank you White Farmhouse Flowers for allowing me in to paint - and for purchasing this painting, too!  Painting number 4368 in 4368 days. 

Flowers on Main Street

 

I LOVED painting the Flower Truck in front of White Farmhouse Flowers in Parkville today!! As soon as I arrived on location, I KNEW this would be a fun paint!  The Volkswagen truck filled with buckets of flowers made the store front adorable!  So, with brush and paint I sketched out the scene, allowing the sun to move a little before adding the light and shadow.  The afternoon light is amazing on this row of shops, so I waited for it!  As it slid into place, I marked those masses quickly.  Light is a fleeting thing, so speed matters.  The shop owner graciously welcomed us with wine and cheese, and I did a little shopping.  This place is just as cute inside as outside!  So happy this painting went home with the Master Florist!!
