Downtown Laramie (Revised)


Acrylic on canvas board
16"x20"

Typically I don't let myself make corrections to a piece after I've signed it, however with this painting there were a few areas that were bothering me and I decided they needed to be corrected before I entered it into another art show.

*4/10/13 - 5/2/13 - This painting is currently available for viewing and sale in the regional LCCC student art show at the Esther and John Clay Fine Arts Gallery on the LCCC campus in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
