Today I met up with Quin, Brenda and Dave McBride to "paint urban" at the corner of 34th and Belmont. We painted directly in front of Stumptown Coffee. The yellow sign in my scene read
Belmont Inn. I had a car in front of the building, but I scraped it out (because it left before I really got it down). It was fun painting in my spot...although it was chilly standing in the shade. As usual, I see things that need correction and re-stating, I'll leave it and look at it again tomorrow.
We had a steady stream of onlookers and visitors (among them
David Burbach and
Thomas Kitts). The comment we heard most often today..... "
Is this an art class?"

Good looking city painting, Celeste!
Une belle touche, de la sincérité, de la couleur et de la vie, la vraie !
De belles rencontres... On mélange et hop! tout comme un bon gâteau, je le dévore des yeux.
Belle peinture.
Gros bisous à vous.

A nice touch, sincerity, color and life, true!
Nice encounters ... Mixing and presto! like a good cake, I devoured eyes.
Beautiful painting.
Big hugs to you.
(thanks, Martine!!)
I love the softness of this city corner, Celeste. It lends a quaintness rather than a sense of busyness. Your perspective immediately drew my eyes; what a magnificent job you did with it!
Nice! I love that yellow sign.
Celeste I love this painting. I think it is the almost abstract nature of it that I find so catching.
Absolutely love this-the design, the colors, and your impression of an urban scene.
Love the playful color choices in this Celeste. What a fun day painting urban.
I love the geometry, the symmetry, which the cables then disrupts..
Now I don't want you to think that I'm learning about painting (heaven forbid :0)) ... but ... do I see a touch of Hensche creeping into your work
Am I right or am I right?
Celeste!
Love the colors! Love the colors! Did I say I love the colors!

Like Michael, I love the colors..
Thanks, Sadami, Anonymous, Martine, Sherry, Ralph, Chris, Brenda, Jon, Michael, hmuxo, and Hallie!
I'm working on one now a lot like this. I am attracted to all of the angles and shapes. It has great expressionist color.
why don't I get word about these paint out dates? This is my neighborhood. I like the painting!
