A new private project. Melancholic atmosphere from small deserted American town in 50's, picture inspired by my trip to US.
Let me know any critics, I would like to make more in this theme and welcome some thoughts.

All in PS with wacom intuos.

Very evocative , i just see two little problems 1), The trees have autumn colors , so i assume it would be September -October , If you only visited the States and are from Europe you may not be very aware of the incredible fertility of US weeds . in September -October your cars (and town )would be overgrown with all kind of wild stuff ( where we in Europe have mainly brambles ).. 2) the watertower seems to have withstand the hand of time a little to much ....
Like i said , little problems ..still a Great picture
As for great details , i love the tin roof on the white building and the realistic way it's siding is falling apart , when living i the USA i lived beside an abandoned house that looked nearly 100% the same ...
What do you think?

To tell the truth I love this piece quiet adamantly. Sure the sky needs a bit more work, I'm no expert about it, but it seems a bit off to me. Though Adore the color transition expressed within it. It's amazing the captivation on the old style cars that are slowly rusting and decaying as the elements of the world around them eat away at the exposed metal, and glass. It actually remind me of a place up north in America. Indian has many places that remind me of this piece. The detail brought into the foliage and leaves scattered about, is an amazing process that I could simply envy. The old style and renditions of the buildings was obviously well thought out. The shadowing is also well done. Though you can not get a clear depiction of what is on the other side of the long stretch of road, you get the sense and feel that there are other old buildings just out of sight that may be just as decrepit as the buildings being shown.

I get the sense that even though this quaint looking place may be dying and falling apart. It had lived a very lively existence, yet what could have been had been unobtainable. The look of the place as it is, shows a hope and good life that now is that of a memory sent to live on in those that are left to remember it. Even though time goes by and things fade, the impression left behind will always live on in those who know were to look.

Anyways I hope this was a good enough insight. Like I said I'm not expert, but I like giving people what I think. This had inspired me to try hard and do better in my works, even though they may not be as realistic as yours is. Other that what I've said this is definitely a lovely piece of art that I will certainly go on remembering.

Well, with exception of the abandoned part, I actually know a few places like this about an hours drive from my home...

The water tower is a nice touch, which gives it a bit of a Central USA type of feel to the scene.

Nicely done!
