Lincoln Center

I have been wanting to paint Lincoln Center for a long time.

I was floundering around at home having no plan and absolutely no idea what to do with myself, and I was going crazy.

I haven't been out painting for... two weeks!!.... so I made myself go.

When I was setting up two security guards started walking over.

I knew they were coming for me.
I never worry about setting up anywhere because it's never a problem.

So the guards came over.  One said "you can't have that tripod here."
His companion said "She's painting!"

I thanked him for knowing that, and he said my apron told a story.

So if you are a photographer you cannot use a tripod but if you are a painter it is ok.

They kept coming back to see the progress and I put one of them in.

The guy on the fountain also came over and I told him he's in the painting.  

He was so excited about it and we exchanged instagrams.

8x10 oil

I need to work on my wide-angle view.
My composition is good with shapes etc but i'm still zoomed in farther than I meant to.
