I forgot to take a picture right after I finished the inking before I started the watercolors so you get a little preview of what is to come. As strip malls go, this one is pretty nice looking. The architect went to the trouble of banding the multi-red colored brick columns and walls with a grayish white brick and used complementary greens, with a narrow strip of yellow/beige accent for the rest. I think it is a pretty attractive color combination and the fact that my house has almost those colors has nothing to do with it. LOL

It is pretty handsome, isn’t it?

I like it too. It’s nice to see some attractive architectural design in a commercial buildings.

When I saw <our first representation of this, I thought it rather trivial. But the colours do something to it that makes you look more than once at it.

The first pencil sketch didn’t have the area under the overhang in as I was waiting for more pictures. I have now finished the colors and I think it is rather atractive as completed.
