The daily dose of art MY MOST AMBITIOUS WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS

It seems fitting that the two paintings both have NYC as the subject.  In this first painting, the challenge was the two point perspective in the sweeping broad background buildings.  The painting is approximately 15x35" and I had to add extender on the drawing table to plot out the perspective.

In the second piece I worked from a series of photographs, and the challenge was to arrange all the buildings in a way that achieved some semblance of geographic accuracy.  Obviously a bit of creative imagination was necessary to do this.

The daily dose of architecture TWO OF MY FAVORITES

Looking back and selecting paintings that I'm most proud of is not only fun, but inspiring.  With several large architectural paintings currently in progress in the studio I find it helpful to remind myself of what I've done and work to see if I can improve on the past.
