Charleston Streets - initial attempt

12 x 12 oil on stretched canvas

It has been almost 2 months since I last painted and I am majorly rusty!!!!  I pulled my brushes out this a.m. and started on this initial block-in.  I have a long way to go but am fairly satisfied with the values thus far.... I feel certain it is going to take several more sessions.  I haven't painted in so long I really struggled with getting the feel of it again.

City Streets

 20 x 24 oil on stretched canvas

Playing around with cityscapes today......  The reflections attracted me to this photo!  As I look at the photograph of this painting it appears to be leaning to the left when actually it's straight.  When I photograph paintings, especially large ones,  I have trouble getting the camera at the correct angle with the painting.  I end up tilting the camera to get the entire pic in.
