Charleston Street Corner by Brennen McElhaney 14×11″ Acrylic
Brennen McElhaney. Nice work! A few Charleston scenes caught my eye (I always love to see the way artists all capture Charleston a little differently). The painting above has been a few different restaurants over the years, it is currently a brewery company/restaurant. The old brick on this building is that wonderful color that turns to magic when that right light hits it. This painting is a beautiful interpretation of that architecture. Right down to the lamp post and the stop lights, Brennen captured this so perfectly.
Be sure to check out Brennen’s website – his paintings, stories, blog, etc. – he has wonderful information!
