I love how the tone of this painting turned out. It's a little moody.  This is the third building I've painted of the four corner buildings on the corner of Franklin and 3rd street here in Winona. The "No Name" title comes from one of its residents ~ "Ed's 'No Name' Bar"

I went a little larger than I usually paint. I'm trying to stretch myself a bit...trying not to get stuck in a rut of doing the same thing with every painting.

Winona, Minnesota

Lap siding. House near Winona State University. Blue. Daytime. Nice shadows.

All summer long I've walked by this house as they've done all sorts of construction projects - the roof, some siding, paint, and maybe more. It was a slow process. Mostly I saw the owner sitting on the small front porch eating sandwhiches. A nice thing to do on a summer day though!
