Paint Around

River City Gallery holds a Downtown Paint Around every July. The rule is Plein Air within 1 mile of the gallery. I chose a house of friends on Cass and 10th.

It was a gray day, but pleasant.

I am aiming for a free-ish expression, but trying to depict the architecture.  There are so many tempting details that I could draw all day. I could, but I won’t.

Here it is, maybe I’ll add a tweek after it’s fully dry

The Downtown Paint Around open house will be Friday August 1 from 5-7 pm, and the submissions will be on display all August. River City Gallery is at 321 Main St., La Crosse.
