Late Evening Alley

Recently I've been attending life drawing classes on Thursday nights in downtown Charleston, WV. While on a break last week I snapped an image with my cell phone. The alley across from Taylor Books (where the class is held) was lit up with the last rays of the day. The facing street was in shadows. The street lights were beginning to cast an orange glow over the dark building fronts. I thought it looked like a painting, so I painted it.
