This painting was a great example of using bits of color to imply detail without actually rendering any of the detail.  Only one car is rendered with just enough detail to be recognizable as a car.  One car is almost, but not quite.  All of the other cars are only implied.  Our minds interpret them as cars because of the context of the rest of the scene.

"Quick Draw" painting done at Sonoma Plaza, Sonoma, California during Sonoma Plein Air Event.
Bustling with both cars and people.
Once in a while there was a break in traffic which enabled me to place the moving cars further down the road.
This was my first street scene ever.  Exciting.  Full of energy. 
This was the favorite of many collectors and artists alike.
