It was a lazy Sunday, and though I had an early rise (for me) I was slow to get outside to paint. By 3 pm the sun was setting and my backyard was in the shade, so I moved to my front stoop where it was warm and bright. Actually, it was so bright that I couldn’t see my screen. So, I invented plein stoop painting, for us city folk. I grabbed mymy pastels and a little garden knee sponge to sit on (a dollar store find that actually works) and painted what I could see.
This was directly in front of me – the house across the street. It’s a very narrow street.

And this was when I turned a 1/6th (I didn’t want to stress myself out too much now) turn toward the harbour.
