Small town gathering

I painted a similar scene for my home several years ago ... I actually painted it on hardboard and then cut it in half so that I could place the two halves in tall narrow frames that would fit on my radius stairway wall. Cutting the painting in two took some courage, I admit, but it worked out well and the scene still hangs in our home today.

I wanted to have a painting of the complete scene as well so I painted this one just for myself. It is a fun study in creating the peaceful feeling that always follows an evening rain. Hope you enjoy it! Acrylic on canvas 18"x20".
