Laundry Day

I've been doing a lot of paintings close to home and felt the need to take a day or two to revisit my trip to New York. I've got loads of images planned, but am trying to balance images from near and far. This one is a little laundry in the West Village that drew my attention in March. The street was absolutely deserted as I was up very early. I like how the building is seen in elevation, but we get the street at right and the shadow across the building for some depth. Also, that little sunlit interior was a challenge, but I was quite happy with the outcome. I'm really enjoying playing with direct sunlight and shadow right now.
