Scooters parked in the City

With scorching heat on the menu, we enjoy these cool breezy conditions on a perfect summer's day. I made another ten paintings today, including this one of three scooters parked on Metcalf street in the city. It took some time to work up the outlines with a number 2 paintbrush, then I filled in the washes for the scooters, and the various background elements. A bus went by in the background, and cars were streaming by, heading down the street. The scene was composed with a triangle on the bottom right, followed by an angular background framing the subject matter. After looking back on my old London Ontario paintings recently, I was inspired by the amount of detail on those paintings done 20 years ago. So today I was trying to go for more detail, and was pleased with the results.
