I started this painting today - it's large: 36x48. Based on a
photograph I took this past December in NoLita (North of Little
Italy) in New York City, I shot it while walking around the neighborhood after great slice of New York thin crust pizza from
Pomodoro Pizza at Spring and Mulberry. I tend to hit this place each time I'm in NYC. It has big windows and is a great place to re-fuel and people watch.
I used a sketch of the
photo as reference to start this piece. I began by laying an initial
wash of paint on the canvas and then sketched the composition with
charcoal. It's nice to work big this way and I'm hoping to keep
this one loose and expressive with some really bold color.
