Here is where I ended up today (with the painting, that is) It was late afternoon and I had been working outside all day.......

#323  King Rd & 59

This is a busy road, at rush hour and You know how I prefer to hide, but it's also not more than a few hundred yards from my house......

I was trying to "gather" my values, at least that's what I was thinking about.

The thing with getting the lights bright enough, is you can't, the sky emits light, paint doesn't, so you have to compensate, and go darker and then you loose color.

I learned that I could "fix" glare out of the photos tonight, that's something.

Not quite an hour on this little sketch, on days when I'm not able to do a proper painting, and that means I get to wake up and think about painting, I figure if I can get out there and push some paint around.........

I had some visitors today, a Dad with his two kids, about 4 and 6? they wanted to see what I was doing, so I had dad pick them up (one at a time)  so they could see the painting where I see it, fun!

Money shot.

I'm far enough off the road, and I could have walked here!
