Hi Everyone,
I have taken a break from my regularly scheduled program to complete this commission. I had a lot of fun painting this because it is so different from my normal paintings. I will say there is a challenge trying to make this kind of painting as dramatic as my still life paintings, especially because I didn't take the reference photos. The reference photos were challenging so I was so thankful to Debra Keirce for telling me that she used Google Maps when she was doing this kind of work. I could kiss her for telling me this because what a difference it made. Google Maps is so great because you can get the street view and from all different angles.
