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.
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 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.

Pittsburgh from the 10th Street bridge
Decided to make the time to sit and paint a view of Pittsburgh I drew almost a year ago. Drove to the South Side of Pittsburgh and parked near the bridge. As I strolled toward the west I came across a set of steps that led to the Monongahela river and there was a place to sit with this view of the city.
Watercolors - I tried to go opaque, but in order to work fast I had to make some compromises. My goal was to complete the painting within 40 minutes.

Drawings and posts - January 14, 2011
Interesting that I have not made many entries lately and in reflection my very first entry was Pittsburgh's football team entering in the NFL playoffs and as I try to catch up to blogging they, The Steelers, are once again entered into the playoffs. Not so outstanding , simply coincidental.
I made this drawing in repsonse to a great victory game that allows the Steelers to advance to the AFC playoffs. It was Saturday and they played the Baltimore Ravens.
Final score Steelers 31 - Ravens 24
