Alone in the City


click here to bid (8x8in.)

This is another scene from New York City. The photo showed all the darks the same, but I find that if I can make the darkest darks in the background a little lighter than those in the foreground, it really works well to show perspective.

  2. This seems somehow very personal, even though one expects it to feel anonymous. Very compelling.

  3. I love this painting, and your comments. This week on Facebook I noticed that someone had posted this same scene, probably painted from your photo, but without crediting you for the photo. Does that strike a sour note, or does it matter to you?

  4. Thanks, y'all!

    Anonymous, it's no problem. I actually posted the reference photo for this one as a challenge for other people to paint as well. So I expected it. : )
