Pathway to the Bay

When I first came to live in Provincetown I lived on this street, Johnson street. Painting here always brings back memories.
I love the way the light pours in from the right.
I came back to this scene four times to work on it, so that I could study the color variations within the mass.

I wanted to study the light key, so I came back at the same time and the same light conditions over a period of a week. I might have been able to cut the time in half but people kept stopping by and talking to me.
Provincetown is a very social town so beware, it can be at times distracting, however it's great to be outside painting in the sun and enjoying the sea air and all the colorful characters who inhabit Provincetown.
