This just came to me. What if the blue steps along the pavilion on the right side are supposed to be the left edge limits of the bleachers under the shade, and the blue background on the left side is supposed to be real sky with some barely defined buildings in the far background?
I'm going somewhere with this - trying to conceptualize a decent background for an acrylic painting. I don't think I can do it as is because I have to notice it every day on my wall, and the whole thing doesn't make enough sense to me as it is. So I'm thinking of just going with the pavilion on the right, beyond the fence, and adding some grayish bleachers underneath. But the roof doesn't have the right perspective. Based on the distance from Ruth, it shouldn't be angled so severely, and neither should the bleachers underneath it (if that's what they are). I'm also thinking about doing away with the yellow sky and just painting it sky blue with possible traces of clouds. And then perhaps I will completely eliminate the pavilion on the far left beyond the fence, but retain some of the tall buildings that are barely noticeable because of being so far from the stadium.
