1st Place Award 2020 Leonardtown Art Walk Contest. Inspired by the charm of Old Town Alexandria, VA, where tourists and residents alike stroll the streets, visit the sites and restaurants. This painting is based on an early spring scene, with some people in the "Capitals Hockey" team shirts, walking their pets, riding motorcycles, and sailing or taking a boat river cruise. On the foreground we see the "Ramsey House" Visitor Center on the right and "Burke & Herbert Bank" on the left.

Through the open window we see the world outside. It’s night and the color of the sky is a hopeful cobalt blue, which reflects its color on the sea below. The body of water is surrounded by a piece of land, filled with palm trees - we can see their silhouette as well as the other tropical plant silhouettes. There is hope in the air, that tomorrow the sun will shine again!
