The most striking image should always have impact whether it’s strong lighting a graphic depiction of a subject matter,place, or person.  The painting has to grab you and make a statement.  The best images always convey a feeling, which
is always my goal.
At this stage of the painting, my challenge is whether to put more detail in people’s faces, or leave it the way it is with the focus on the late afternoon lighting; the sun coming from behind the trees, also bleaching out the sidewalk on the right hand side casting long shadows in the foreground.  I may simplify the leaves in the upper portion of the painting.
