That fence is just off. I really like this old Spanish style gas station redone as a realtor office BUT they need to take down that fence. I did have the perspective on the street side windows off too but I think that’s ok now. 
Large acrylic I am working on at the art studio. Lots of perspective even on the dancers.
Perspective is always a problem when you do a painting like this in the studio let alone with the sketchbook propped on the windshield the way I drew the old gas station. Like me you may not know what is wrong just that something is off. 
I think the perspective is off on it but in the pic I took of it the fence looks like this. More or less the way I drew it.
Maybe it looks odd because the fence is too dark?! I dunno. Probably should have used my rigger paint brush to paint the fence. As Livie says nudder one. Maybe I will draw it over. Sometimes these urban sketches work sometimes they don’t. 
I do like the grass and the sidewalk.
I also like the trees. And the darker quin gold on the front of the building.
Ted Nuttalls transparent palette. I washed the building with quin gold first. Then more quin gold on the top and in the trees.
Off to meet a friend for breakfast on this freEzing morning. 21 windchill 15. Pray I don’t turn into an ice cube.
Darned my favorite red wool socks last nite. 
All done with the darning. Now I can knit some new ones. Well after I buy some new sock knitting needles. The old ones are lost somewhere. They roll under something and are just gone.

Alternatively, the fence provides an impression of resistance and hesitation to take a financial step. I guess the co. added the fence to the drive through . The fence may be the advantage to your painting. I like it.

Thanks. Interesting thought on the fence. Thanks. I do and I donβt. I wonder if the fence is left from when the neighborhood was not upscale.

The fence is level to the sidewalk but in your painting the fence looks like it is 2 feet above the sidewalk. From your car the angle may have been difficult. I think the fence looks more recent to eliminate the curious passerby from wandering in so the office would only accept appointments. I still like the fence.

Thanks about the fence. I was much lower sitting in my car on that freezing cold cold day. The neighborhood was marginal a few years ago so it may be for security. Should have done the measure twice draw once thing. π€
