ART DATE 6

 One of my friends on Instagram posted a picture of an old piano, sitting outside covered with plants.  It was very interesting.  I asked her if it was in West Seattle, because she lives and walks her dog around places in West Seattle.  She responded with where it was in White Center.  It is in an alley between 17th and 18th, and 102nd and 104th.

So, today I went looking for it and parked my car in the alley and sketch it.

ALLEY THINKER

Here's a departure from the Freeway series.

I've always been fascinated with alleys. I know....dirty, yucky, smelly and even dangerous. But, there's something...it's the industrial, city scene peek at the underbelly. It's also the composition. I tend toward the 'leading off into the distance' kind of composition.

This painting is from a photo I took in Seattle. I've edited it and removed or enhanced stuff.
