Posting This Before The Storm

The sky has darkened in the space of a few minutes, and there's the rumble of thunder off to the west. The birds are in a tizzy, trying to feed themselves before the storm breaks, and I am in a rush to get this posted, as we often lose power.

I'm adding the decorations on the building on the right side, as I think it's been kind of weightless in relation to all the rest of the activity in the painting. Also trying to finish adding all the pebbles on the sidewalk.
