Wide view of the city from Birmingham bridge - up river

Sitting very close to the Liberty bridge. I tried to get permission to climb aboard one of the barges. One guy wanted to let me go ahead, the other guy went by the book and did not care what or who I was, there was no way he was gonna let me on.

Cityview - painted August 6, 2011

First painting from the Southside near the 10th street bridge. I set my goal to complete within two hours. I am very happy with this second effort -I posted this image earlier, but wanted to stack it up with my recent projects. A painting from Chicago appears below it.



Cityview from 10th Street bridge - Southside Pittsburgh

This is from one of my favorite views of Pittsburgh. Just about any view from across the Mon is great.


Oak Brook golf course 18th hole

This opaque watercolor painting is the first one I've done since I started doing pastels and skteches. I was in Chicago for work (PNC Financial Services) and new I would have some free time before the meeting began. I decided to take my paints and gave myself two hours to do a painting. Pretty happy with the results, the reproduction here is not great, but the color reproduction is fairly accurate. The image itself is slightly soft.

Cityscape from Terminal Way

Latest painting from the south side. Found these wonderful hand rails made from bent rebar and a great site to paint the city. I'll probably head over to that spot again..

City View from 10th Street bridge

I'm very happy with this painting, it took longer than I had planned (two hours). After about an hour a policewoan tried to get me to get off my perch near the river,,, but decided not to pursue my extraction. She ended it by seeing that I was painting and said that , "Well you aren't drinking and you don't look like the type of person that would jump in the water or do something stupid., uhh ...be careful" 
I smiled as she rode off on her bicycle. Life is good and I and still inspired, maybe even more so. More inspired because of feeling a sense of my mortality - wanting to accomplish more in my life.
