Chris, why, finally, is the road purple instead of a honey/gold color? You seemed to be struggling with the lower shadow until it went from a small tree shadow to occupy a full quadrant plus. It’s a bright sunny afternoon, from the sharpness of the sparse tree shadow, which keeps, cleverly, the viewer from falling out of the painting. All the brightest is absent. The painting becomes about a huge purple oil slick instead of the trolley which you said would be the focal point when you began. That said, I’m learning from your paintings, sometimes in unexpected ways.

Looking forward to this one! Thanks!

I think the shadow is working. The lit part brings you into the painting. I always have a hard time with cast shadows of trees- getting the shape right. I tend to fudge it a bit.
