Train painting is done

I had tons of pictures of Collingswood, the town we live in, and I just bought a bunch of 8" x 10" canvas boards so I think these will be my next series of paintings. Here's the first one:

I really liked how the sun "whited" out a huge part of the photo on the left side and tried to recreate that in the painting. For those who don't paint, this stuff is difficult to do.

I have a bunch of other photos that are looking down our main street, Haddon Ave. These will take a little more time I think but I'm sure they'll turn out pretty good.

I did get a little side-tracked with an idea I had to use paint, building it up in different spots on the canvas so I'm doing that and another kid-type painting that will probably be finished today. If I have enough motivation to do it. Ever since I gained these 10 extra pounds I've been unmotivated to do anything. Isn't that ironic?

I also have 2 jobs that I'm in the middle of. One is a painting on a night stand for a child. The couple wanted a sports/superhero look on the front drawers and I missed the mark on the first batch of sketches




So I need to do more sketches. Probably do that tomorrow. But this last one is the one I decided to use and paint it on a canvas as a kids painting. This is the one I'm going to try to finish today.

So that's about it for today. I have my psoriasis doc appoint at 6 tonight and then zumba at 7:15. Busy day today/tonight.
