"Skyway Commute"

14" x 18"
Oil on linen

Last week, on a lunch break, I took a walk around downtown Minneapolis. It was raining steadily, not hard, but enough to keep people off the streets and in the skyways.

Love the overall sense of haunting moodiness and meloncholy you evoked with a cool and muted palette.
Gorgeous painting!

Thanks Jeff. The gray, rainy, scene forced me to push my palette that way.

Jennifer, I like meloncholy. I think that describes the sense I had painting this one for sure. Thanks for taking a look and good luck on your show.

Nice paintings. I'm a fellow daily painter and I was curious if you'd be interested in doing a reciprocal link exchange.

Austin, consider yourself reciprocated (is that a word?).
