I have always wanted to paint this street from the center. I had this plan that I would set up in the center when they do tree trimming a couple times a year. Well, my schedule never seemed to work with the arborist's. Instead I set up in the gutter and drew the perspective lines as if I was in the center. I would run out in the street to make note of a few things and then run back to paint. It actually turned out pretty cool, I think.
