Dickson Street

"I want something 'Fayetteville-esque."
Oddly enough I understood what she meant.  
So... this painting is Fayetteville-esque.
If you've ever lived in or loved my city, you get it.

What makes it Fayetteville-esque?

... There's Old Main in the background. 

... The trees from the University lawns are in their autumn colors.

... That must be a Razorback license plate on the blue car.

... Of course, there's not an empty parking space anywhere.

... And... there are all the businesses that make Dickson Street... Dickson Street...

I put things into this painting that make it fun.

I spy... my red VW bug! the wheel of my husband's Harley! Melanie's SUV, DJ's mustang!

I think I spy...  Are those initials in the reflection of a window? Do those shutters look like an my own initials? And is that a letter on the orange building? Is that a name on the green car's license plate? How about on the red car's license? 

Could I also spy... Are those scribbles on the white sign, or does it have a message?  Is that a blur, or does it say something on the red dot sign?

Fun! Fun!! Fun!!!

She'll get to see it tomorrow morning! (along with my painting partners who want to be there.)  I hope she thinks it's "Fayetteville-esque!"  

I was pretty proud to finish this one.

With the frame, the bug won't hold much more. :)
