And It Rained On My Birthday This Year... Maria Kovalenko Leysens

I was invited to be part of a show at Gallery Sim, southside of Pittsburgh, opening on May 8th. The theme is "Capturing Carson" the main street of the area. I planned to do people, shoppers, commuters... but ended up with this image from a rainy day this past December.

Maria, this is great. The painting reveals the gloomy weather we've been having. Nice work.

Maria, this is a beautiful old church and I love the subdued light that rain brings.

What a wonderful composition and painting job. I've never been to Pittsburgh, but I imsgine that this street and its buildings are much like many of the streets in our Northeastern states--old and looking a bit tired and gloomy, but still kicking, and emanating their own kind beauty.

You make a gloomy, grey day beautiful in this painting, Maria.

Love the colors in this, and love the "rainy" look you have achieved.
