A Little Local Color - Welcome to Midtown!

Welcome to Midtown! 9x12 oil on panel - plein air

 I've lived on Midtown, Atlanta for years, but haven't taken the leap to get out there and try to paint it. My comfort zone really lies with nature scenes. So while I am plenty happy to take my gear and paint in Piedmont Park, I have shied away from the streets and cars.

Why you ask? Because it's hard!!!

Well, now I'm ready to give it a try. I'll never get any better trying to capture the people walking down the street or bikes and cars zipping along if I don't just get out there and give it a shot.

Right now, I'm working at street level. Next, I'll have to capture the skyscapers. I'd really like to see if I can get that reflected light ...but that a whole other can of wax.

So, I'll keep it up and maybe before long I'll get there!!

Happy painting,

Dawn
