Day 96 Pearl Street Awning

I painted this morning with PAAC in Boulder on Pearl Street mall. There were several beds of daffodils and tulips blooming. It was sunny and there are so many things to paint. I was fascinated with all the stuff showing through those windows. Then there were the blue and white striped awnings. How should I include that dead pine tree, even though it was kind of ugly? The original concept was about showing the great awnings. The 3 hour parking time limit and the strong winds eventually chased me away, but I have my study and photos to work on this scene again.
