06-17-2021 - Island Lake Bank

 

 

 

My boss has been kind enough to let me have some time during the week to paint. Trying my best to make the most of it. I happened upon this bank on a drive the other day. It appears to be out of business. There is actually a bit of graffiti on one of the planters that said "Have a nice day!" I sure did! It didn't make it into this small study as there was plenty of information to keep me busy. It's been nice pushing paint around and trying my hand at some new things these last few days. Hope to keep the momentum going...

Hope you enjoy the weekend! Thanks for looking.

The weather was awesome today so I snuck out for a sketch after work. This was the side lot of a Kmart years ago. (Our old storage unit was behind the fence to the left.) The building stood empty for quite a while. Now all that remains is the few businesses on the out lots and part of the parking lot has been taken over by a car dealership. Landscapes are all still experiments to me, so this was a fun little departure for me.

Hope you enjoy it. As always thanks for looking!

Now that the spring semester is in the books, things are starting to settle down. I'm getting into some sort of schedule anyways. I've been eyeing this tree for a while. It is just a few minutes from the house. I was able to find a nice spot in a lot where I could paint from the car. (It's been oddly hot here for spring.)

Hope you enjoy it! Have a great weekend!
