patio at Brain Dead Brewing

This was developed from a pretty detailed underpainting. I was happy from the start with the composition, which seemed amenable to working the image in sections. I tried to be  pretty careful about putting in a touch of detail here and there, while leaving some areas completely abstract.

Kind of silly painting from a snapshot. I thought the graffiti would be enough focus to overcome the lack of composition, but the layout is just too awkward. Oh well, a painting of a wall of green cyclopes can't be all bad..
