The notes on the sketch from which this came read: "E 11th N 1550 Rd. 2/23/15 30 degrees 4:00 PM Clear." Yet in the sketch there are some clouds in the west and the sun shines over and through them, catching the tops of the building, but leaving this east side in the hazy shadow. So I guess it was not completely clear, at least in the west. That was in a 9" x 12" Canson sketch pad. The painting is more like 11" x 14". These are definitely winter colors subdued by a winter sun that back lights the scene. There is another painting I have done from a sketch I did at home inspired by another place along this road in that same sun.
