Looks familiar, like a scene from around here.

Nice - will look forward to more.

The reflective puddle in the summer version makes an eye-catching focal point. I love the atmosphere in both. Very nicely done!

Looks like an Edward Hopper painting. You have much talent.

Especially the top one. I think I mentioned the "100 Alley's" project when you posted the first one.

Yours are as good or better!

It's always a treat to see your work.

I struggle with roof lines.

They are both fantastic! I love the snow covered alleyway with the tire tracks 🙂

But looking at the second one is making me feel cold.

At first I took what you wrote literally and I was wondering how and why you were "painting your alley".

It must be nice to have artistic talent. I'm more on the stick figure end of the spectrum.
My favorite is the snowy one, but the reflection of the moon in the puddle in the summer one is really well done. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.

…is walls. I’m so envious. We have a lot of talented artists here on DU.

the summer alley in the winter.

The puddle in the first painting...

and I can feel the difference between a summer & winter night when I look at them.

That puddle looks so real that I feel as f I were able to touch the actual pain
Noting, my fingertip would come away wet.

These are lovely and convey so much--I feel like I could walk down that alleyway and feel the cold air, hear the snow crunch, and sense the quietness of the wintry night while looking at that pinkish sky. I love the summer one too cause I can hear the crickets, smell the moisture in the air and imagine my excitement at being out at night with jocular friends or family walking down this alley toward some adventure or hi-jinks. Keep up the good work!

I can see now a few little things I have to fix but I appreciate your words of encouragement. I totally invented the puddle - it wasn't in the reference photo - so I'm pleased that addition seems to have been fairly successful.

Very original and evocative.
