Treescape 4: a Loose Interpretaion of NW 21st and Overton




This painting seemed especially challenging and I'm not sure if it's because I was lazy when I was out sketching or if it's because I didn't start out with a line drawing under the painting. I opted not to paint the cars, buildings and street signs. I included them in my first sketch but I wanted to capture the foresty feel of the neighborhood and all that stuff made for a cute but frenetic city painting. It does look weird to have empty streets though...one more thing to figure out.

Hi Alexandra! I love your treescapes, and wow for the project of 100 treescapes. That's really inspiring!

Thanks! I was imagining this to be a several month project but at the rate I'm going it will take a year or more! Hopefully I'll get some momentum going...
