The morning light has been great this week. This study, done just two hours ago, is an example of it. My morning commute takes me through some interesting neighborhood streets. It is easy to stop and explore the possibilities. Here I was trying to show what it feels like to look up the street. Because of the shifting light my time was very limited. That is why I worked on a small Masonite panel. Not a lot of detail, but that's OK. The study captured what I intended–the essence of a Pittsburgh morning.

My favorite subject matter-city or town streets--love the deep street shadows, the light sky,the telephone poles and their faintly painted wires, the loose brushwork, the perspective--LOVE THE WHOLE PAINTING!
'Essence' is the perfect word for this perfect little gem - I love it!
So exciting to visit the Daily Painters of Pennsylvania blog and find scenes from across our state. You have captured the feel of PGH.
You have such a wonderful eye for composition and color...and for a quick study you captured the light perfectly.
This painting draws me right into the scene. Wonderful capture. Love it.
A wonderful painting! Love it!
I love it, Ron - so fresh and convincing! I truly admire your work.
Very nice painting. You've captured those silent shadows of the neighborhood perfectly!
This really does feel like morning in PIttsburgh. The light, again, wonderful.
