The wetlike asphault goes well with the autumn colours too, looks like a fall storm has just passed through in the early evening.

Thanks. It's joint compound painted with blackboard paint. I gotta do a better job of laying the lines down though.

Beautiful, especially the "night" scenes. If there was no reference, I may have thought they were real.
