Oil Pastel Street

Here's a street at the other end of the village that has always interested me. It's always had quite a sad air about it - it's one of those streets where everyone's blinds are always drawn, and you never see anyone going in or out. At the end you can just about see (where the trees begin), the road goes up a very steep hill. In this drawing I kept some realistic details (the reflection of the sky on the closest window, the proportions and perspective) and left some out (emphasis on shadows, muted colours) making for what I hope is an interesting and cheery drawing. I suppose I made it so bright because it's coming up to summer and things are looking up in the sun.
