Uptown Umbrella

Uptown Umbrella
Don't you love the rain? There's something about rain that visually filters the scene into something quite paintable. Think about that for a minute.. As artists, as we paint we are trying to unify the scene somehow, make it come together with maybe a color, or by lighting. We squint to aid this visual editing process and then, along comes the rain. This is great! It's an instant unifying filter. Not to mention, the reflections. Of course when battling the elements it's not easy to stay inspired when there's a cold stream of water running down your collar. Thank goodness for cameras.

This marks my 19th day on DailyPaintWorks. It's quite a lot of work - apart from just painting. But I'm sticking to it and will keep at it for a couple of months at least and see where it takes me. My DailyPaintWorks site is a virtual gallery and you can check it out anytime. Her are another 2 paintings I recently added to the auctions. Both done with live models followed up with minimal touch ups in the studio later.
