This painting is a detail of a downtown fence which we love to peer over to see our friends in the courtyard of a local hangout. This is the fence seen in my painting titled Downtown. It's the kind of fence that always makes me wish I had a stick to run along, as you can tell by the title. It is another painting in my architectural series which celebrates the work of artisans before me. I used my usual limited palette of primaries plus white, but chose a looser technique to capture the playfulness I associate with this location.
