About this work

This painting shows a sunny street scene with a white house in the middle. Two people are walking a dog on the sidewalk, and a third person sits on the steps. Big trees with green leaves shade the house, which has blue shutters and a simple porch. The colors are bright but loose, like quick brushstrokes. The dog looks calm, almost like it’s posing, while the people seem to be going about their day. The artist’s name, Paul Shively, is signed in the corner.
