. . . found inspiration everywhere




I try to get to work very early so that I can park free, but so do a lot of other people, so it's a crap shoot. If I'm lucky, I get one and then I sit in my car and read for a while, until I figure the door to the office is unlocked. So that's what I was doing one morning when I glanced up and saw, off in the distance, this view. I always have my camera with me, so without even getting out of the car, I zoomed in and shot this vignette. Taking out a lot of extraneous stuff (stop sign, tree), and altering the colors a bit, I think I have here the inspiration for another painting, all right angles and earth tones.

I think this has all the makings of a great abstract painting, I can't wait to see the result. Good luck.

yes, this one can be a geometric composition with warm reds, browns and light and shadows... you will turn it into a beautiful painting
