"Rowhouses on Fourth Street, Bethlehem" by Taryn Day

oil on paper
6"x6.75"

I'm still painting every chance I get in Bethlehem, PA. This view is again from St. Michael's Cemetery. The clouds conveniently rolled away while I was working, then dank storm clouds rolled over as I was finishing up. That ominous mood was amplified by me spotting a teenage boy messing around behind me with a BB gun that looked like this. I figured it was time to go.

On this small support you have given us an up-close view of part of a street and miles and miles of landscape in the background--love the interesting step-like formation of the buildings, softened by your loose, yet,I'm sure accurate, rendering of the trees--so nice, Taryn

Great painting. I stay clear of summer time idle teenage boys with BB guns also. Don't you wish we could get these kids to put down the guns and pick up a paint brush.

This is magnificent, Taryn. The sense of place and the light are amazing.
