New Wave Pier & More Pencils

Today was a quiet day, I had no particular plans and the weather was good, so I went out painting.

I'm trying to find some new spots- today I went over to New Wave Pier which is all the way East, right by the UN building.

8x10 oil, about 2 hours

This is the strangest statue...

After painting I went for a good walk over to Blick on 20th and 6th.

I need more tiny Princeton brushes (I always need them) and I wanted a set of those Chromaflow colored pencils.

I don't really understand why the set of 24 was $26.08 but the set of 36 is $46.58.

So 24 pencils comes out to 1.17 per pencil, but if you get 36 of them it's 1.29.

That's at Blick.

There's an Amazon listing at $26.58 for 24 and ... $54.53 for 36!

This is bizarre pricing and it doesn't make any dang sense to me.

I honestly don't need or want more than 24 of these pencils.

They are quite nice and I like them, they are fine for general sketchbook stuff, travel, and mainly for non-serious relaxing.  There is a good range of colors in the tin.  I'd like a light blue but whatever. It's not like I don't already have too many pencils.

Daya is at a sleepover tonight so I have the apartment to myself plus the cats.
