Sunset in Midtown

I caught this from a window in my office building today. I feel lucky to get such a nice view everyday.. being on the 30th floor has its perks!

Unexpected beauty

Went for a walk with Barbara yesterday and found this boarded up restaurant that has been closed for years. Despite it looking pretty dilapidated on the outside, the way the sun was shining through the lace curtains was both eerie and beautiful.

Fire no.2

These are so much fun! I might just keep on paintin' em until something else catches my eye. This one's also an 8 x 10.

Fire

detail

I spent Thanksgiving up in Rochester with Sam and his lovely family. On my last night there we made a big bonfire and had a nice evening sitting around it. It was beautiful and I ended up taking quite a few photos that night. I thought it would be fun to paint fire since I've never done so before. It was a lot of fun painting something so bold and bright and out of control. I suggest everyone try it. This was a fast painting, and after it dries I'll most likely go back into it, with some glazing and added hints of color.

An homage to Turner, in progress
