Night Alley Study Cont'd

This is the completed study of the night alley in Richmond, right near the Farmer's Market. I went out there to take a pic of it at night and then another time during the day. Then, I had a model stand in front of the building during the daytime and took a pic. I got the idea from Magritte, where there's clearly a clash of day and night - the nighttime alley with a daytime sky. I'm not sure if I'll leave the model in just yet. This was a challenge in and of itself because I'm used to painting a scene realistic, and here, it just doesn't make sense.
