The above photo was taken on a beautiful, nice day, but has a bleakness to it. I wasn't thinking of how to compose this "hotel" sign when I shot this, I was thinking more of the sign itself. I liked the composition so much that I did a color study of it today. I normally don't work so close to my photo reference, but this time is a bit of an exception. I might change up the color palette on this piece when I finish it, we'll see...
