This scene is just outside of the barber, I made a quick painting on my foray to the mile end to see the dentist and get a haircut finally. It was mostly overcast with glimpses of sunlight. Painting in the city is challenging due to the amount of detail. I tried to get in enough elements to give you the feeling of the area. Architecture, funky benches, bikes, cars, and shrubbery. Of course there were people walking up and down the sidewalks but it is difficult to superimpose people on a quick painting like this. I used the triangle composition, you see the diagonal created by the sidewalk, inspired by Hiroshige the great Japanese print maker.
