Soft Pastel on Suede Matboard

New York Street
I painted this picture for the Different Strokes blog. Even though I had three weeks, I waited until the last day to paint this and got it in just under the wire. It’s not that I was procrastinating, I’ve just been really busy. Okay, I was procrastinating. I hate painting buildings. And I actually have been very busy, so it was easy to put off. It was just as well that I waited until the last day, because I didn’t have time to overwork it.

This is so well done! I could totally related to your procrastination - I was dreading painting this scene and waited until Wed to paint. I found once I started I couldn't stop. So glad you persevered.
Wonderful pastel and an interesting "flip" on the photograph.
You did this in one day? I'm stunned and amazed. Very nice... and I like the flipped view, too.
Kari, it's beautiful! You are amazing.
Awesome! I am still trying to get over the 'one day' thing though
Beautimous! I love it - I'm not quite sure how you are not liking painting buildings though - you do a super job!!
very nice piece.
It's so funny how we think it's the wrong side just because were use to it from the other side but it's great also.
I love your use of pastel
Thanks Glenda & Ann!
Thanks R - It took ALL day, though. Forgot to eat lunch, didn't get laundry done, dinner was late, etc. I ignored all my usual distractions. Makes me think about how productive I could be if I did that on a regular basis. :)
Thanks Liz & Sheila!
Thanks Lauren - Buildings are too confusing with all the windows and then having to worry about perspective - yuck! They just aren't my thing. But thank you. :)
Thanks, Dominique - it seemed like the right side to me. ;)
