Description Station 23 is a traditional fire station in a Northwest Florida small town. The scene was painted during the mid-summer in the evening hours when the sun brought the trucks out of the shadows. It had been raining a lot and just for fun, I painted the reflection of the station from the street. The crew liked it and dark clouds were added to fit the scene. Thanks to the 'B shift' for helping me stage the scene. The fire station is scheduled for demolition. The original painting is oil on canvas 32 x 20 in.
