Morning painting view from covington

Painting the view of the city from covington. I like the cluster of old towers, and the ferris wheel in the foreground. Lots of interesting shapes. Im going to try a new pallette. Stay tuned. I will update this post as the painting progresses.

Im starting to lay my colors down. I recently added brown to my palette, which is toning down my normally bright palette

My friend, and photographer, Constance Sanders stopped by to visit, and make a short video of my work in progress.
