June Update

I'm taking a break this week from that Eli Manning painting to do a commissioned piece that needs to be done by the end of the week, but I thought I'd post the last bit of progress I made on it.

Below are some pics of the Boathouse, a great bar in Lambertville, NJ I visited last October and took a few snapshots of. I decided to break up the monotony of doing the highly detailed Manning painting by messing around with a more expressionistic bar scene in between. The first pic is, obviously, the reference photo I took, the second is a color study in marker leaning more on reds, browns, and oranges, the third pic is the beginnings of the work on canvas.
