Fowle's sign

Oil on wood, about 7".

Newburyport

I have been working on this painting for a month and it's finally finished! I skinned my elbow and broke my cellphone for this piece so don't let it be said that I never suffer for my art. (I fell right in the middle of busy Main Street in Newburyport trying to take photos. One of the more embarrasing moments of my life) The little boy and the bike was in one of my photos and I just had to put him in.
Two things that are characteristic of Newburyport- the buildings have lots of chimneys and the stores have the best flowerboxes. I think the town even has an annual flowerbox competition.
For those of you not familiar with the history, Newburyport has so much brick because it kept burning down.
