This is actually an older painting that I revisited.  I did this during my first year at SAS, in 2000.  We needed large colorful canvases for a new cafe and the accent color in the space was red.  This is a stylized interpretation of a scene on SAS campus.  I don't think I would create this painting now so it's kind of fun to come back to it.  The changes I made were subtle.  I toned down and warmed up the colors at bit (believe it or not!) and I added lights to the lower horizon to emphasize the negative shapes in the trees.  Other than that, I tried to preserve what I was aiming to accomplish WAY back when I was 23.  :)  Oh, this is big, 48x60", and it's one of my first acrylic paintings.  Back then, I was still very new to the medium and not totally comfortable with it.  I would not have predicted it would become my favorite.  There's a companion piece to this that I will tweak next and post shortly.
