MANHATTEN ISLAND PAINTOUT

This is my September entry to Bill Guffey's VIRTUAL PAINTOUT.

The Bubble Lounge (11x14 graphite on canvas panel)
I elected to post this preliminary sketch on Bill's blog this month. Due to other commitments the painting will not be completed till mid October. I will post the finished painting on my PAINTING IN OILS blog. I started working out my values with some thin oil washes. The lady has been relocated close to the corner of the building. I like the reflections in the glass and the weathered wood doors. The orange awning, pink purse, and shoes should give it a pop of color (REF PHOTO).
