New York Cityscape
"Downtown Windows", Pastel on sanded paper, 9 x 12
This is a study for a larger oil pairing that I have already started in the studio. I have two cityscapes that I am finishing up before I head down to the tropics for a couple of months. There are a couple of things that I really like in this piece and hope to keep in the larger painting. I pushed the colors in the windows to achieve the grey harmony in the building colors. I also tried to avoid being too "architectural" in my edge work. I like the loose quality of some of the edges even though some of the lines are not quite in alignment! The challenge will be to keep those qualities in a larger painting.
