Usually its the beginning of winter, if not in weather only. Technically winter starts on the 21st, but right now it feels more like spring, or I guess the end of the fall would be accurate. I made this painting of Harley street looking west, in the distance is the Snowdon Bakery, while in the foreground is Rafi auto which I have painted several times. I kept the cars in the composition to fill out the bottom left triangle, and to give a sense of ambiance. A few people are entering the bakery. To make the painting work, I embellished the amber glow of the bakery, and gave the sky a warm aura. The light seems to spill out onto the street, creating an infusion of colour.
