Painting the Colors of Life

I was driving down 20th Street South in Birmingham, Alabama, on a rainy night and was dazzled by the reflections.  So, I jumped out of the car and took a quick photo using my iPhone.  Not only did I get wet, but I caused lots of honking from the disgruntled drivers behind me.  I'm sure they thought I was crazy!

That photo became the inspiration for this palette knife  24 x 18 painting, that I call Rain on 20th Street South.  Between working out the perspective and the values, I did at times wonder if I were crazy.  But it turned out well enough that it created some interest in the Mountain Brook Art Association show, and I was able to sell it.  It now hangs in the conference room of a prominent law firm in Birmingham.
