I enjoy painting what could be not 'what is'.  Photographs are used only for the big shapes and some perspective.  I paint on damp paper laying in large colored shapes that overlap and mix together.  Painting the values and shadows needed at the beginning is the goal.  After the painting is dry negative shapes of dark achieve the final results.

Beautiful work. Your style reminds me of the city paintings of Eric Wiegardt "Free and Easy."

Lung Tom, thank you for the compliment and I do enjoy Eric Wiegardt's work. Getting in and out of a painting keeps watercolor fresh, free and easy..... jbg
