Schaumburg Plein Air workshop - Day 3

This is the corner of a commercial bldg in town. I was standingon the sidewalk of a busy 4-lane road. The straight wide road was often actingas a wind-tunnel so my pochade box was doing a lots of moving!
I was attracted to the way the sun hit the face of thisbuilding and the streetlamp in the parking lot while the front flowers were inthe shade of a tree.
I’m happy with this painting. I particularly like the looseway the lamp, purple flowers and window turned out.
