Will it be one of your entries in Ironstone's Spring Obsession Art Show? Sure hoping to see some of your work up here! Thank you for sharing such great observations and the story of your journey.

I'm fond of architectural subjects, and this one appealed to me immediately. I actually thought about moving the lettering over into the 'frame' of my painting, but in the end, I just didn't ...ran out of time and was afraid to screw up the painting, which I liked. I can't really explain the goldish yellow color I painted the walls. They were much more 'pinkish', but didn't have much life. The gold just showed up. <br />Thanks for the good comments!Bruce B.

The photograph didn't seem to offer much potential but then that's the difference between the two, I imagine. Your particular composition didn't allow it - space - but it might have been interesting to include the hotel lettering as well.
