Main Street, Kansas City
Had occasion to take the Max - Kansas City's own GPS-empowered rapid bus - today down to Crown Center.
I've long had a plan to do a series of series of paintings (that's a lot of series) based on Kansas City's streets - particularly the North-South streets. Looking out the window in today's crisp sunlight, the series that would be Main Street became much clearer in my head. It will focus on the stretch between the Plaza and 31st Street, and be glimpses of details of buildings, like windows and brickwork.
Under the perfect blue sky in 27 degrees Fahrenheit that had a so-called RealFeel of 16 degrees (that's -3 feeling like -9 for the Centigrade afficionados), Main Street looked rather good in Midtown, and on the return journey I chose the very buildings and details of that would form the series.
