On Broadway

SOLD

 

It was super fun to paint on Broadway in Excelsior Springs  - and I'm so happy this painting was chosen for a Purchase Award!  I love when paintings find new homes! I parked near here for the Artist check in, and when I scouted up and down the street, I returned to paint this view.  The opposite view also had my attention, so I painted it after turning this one in!  I chose ink and watercolor, and it took me a little longer than usual to get this painting finished.  I visited with many as they walked by, and took my time exploring the details.  I also realized that I was out of ink in my black pen and nearly out in my black violet!  Time to reload before the Liberty Plein Air!  Painting number 4657 in 4657 days. 

Cafe on Broadway

SOLD

 I have wanted to paint the streets of Excelsior Springs for years - and today, I seized every opportunity to paint during the Excelsior Springs Plein Air event!  After first painting an ink and watercolor of the street scene in the opposite direction, I turned around to paint this vantage.  This scene called to me - even though it meant standing in the sun for part of it! I waited for my favorite trolley to drive by, too!  What a busy, thriving small town community this is - and so much fun to paint!  This painting was selected for the Purchase Award and of number 4656 in 4656 days.
