"Spring Street" -Watercolor sketch of a hometown street

"Spring Street Downtown" - 5x7 - watercolor - January 2016

One of the things that make an old downtown neighborhood so interesting or the tree lined streets.   I'm continuing to work on some sketches for a series of Painting My Town.    I love this tree lined street on Spring Street.   Like many small towns the 1950s homes have become a haven for business. My hair dresser has a shop in a old home directly across the street.   Years ago oak trees were planted around town on the streets   Unfortunately many have had to be removed as the road have gotten wider and busier.
