A few days ago, I strapped on my sneakers and went out for a jog.  It's been quite awhile since I've gone running, alone, with no kids in tow.  There are two places that I think most clearly, one is in the shower, and the other out running.  On the way home, I have to travel over a bridge that runs along side of this group of row homes in Phoenixville, PA.  From the far side of the bridge, you can only see the very tops of the homes against the backdrop of an expansive sky.  I got home, grabbed my sketch book, and turned around to capture the image.  I've been working on it off and on this week, and feel good about the result.  I'm exploring a whole series of rooftop tops.

"Quiet Alley" - Phoenixville is full of great little streets and alleyways.  This one has been in my queue for awhile.  I am finding myself drawn to street signs lately.

Here is another scene inspired by downtown Phoenixville.  It is a view from Main Street, across from The Wooden Spoon, a delicious treasure of our little town.

Each time I pass this intersection I tell myself that I MUST paint this building. Another painting inspired by our daily walks around our little town of Phoenixville, Pa.  This view captured my attention because of the interesting shapes the fire escape creates.   

Bridge Street Walk

We walk by this little walkway in downtown Phoenixville, PA everyday.  It is so easy to pass by it without even a glance.  I loved the way the light and shadows fell this particular morning.
