Paintings of Yesterday and Today


 
Yesterday I went to downtown Fort Myers to paint street views. As you may tell, it is the entrance to the courtyard which is the weekend art walk hot spot, where you can find bands and restaurants. However, when I got there it was raining. My choice was limited. I set up under the awning across the street. Halfway into my painting, the sky suddenly cleared up. The view was totally different. I tried to make adjustment but I knew it didn't go as I liked. On my way back, I passed Ortiz Blvd. and noticed the construction site at the intersection for a new gas station with the huge red gas tanks and cranes. I told myself I would come to paint it the next day. It turned out OK. See them for yourself.
