Today I painted a scene on Elmhurst and Harley avenues, showing the side of the City Fruit and Grocer, with a view south on Elmhurst, minus the cars this time. I felt like there was enough going on without trying to cram in a row of cars during rush hour, but you can easily imagine that along with the sounds. The side of this building has an interesting mural of animals on a space-like background, you see a heron, a roaring bear and a tiger. This scene incorporates a lot of the character of the neighborhood, including the mural, the other items on the wall, the road and sidewalks and the classic brick condo apartments. It was a warm and sunny, blue sky kind of day although quite chilly.
