Along the main street there is a traffic circle with a small park at the center. Last time we were here, in 2017, the city had barely just planted the trees. Now, the entire area was covered in tree canopy providing a nice shady area to paint. Instead of showing the cars and buildings, I left the background blank, and elongated the depth of the park to fill the page. In reality, the scene was kind of dark and cool, but I infused the painting with a rich, warm, subtle glow using impressionist-style brush strokes.
