Harley Street end of Fall

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.
