blocking in

Only one day painting this weekend, it is looking somewhat rough, but I'm thinking this is just the blocking in stage,  I will refine and adjust values further on. After this the plan is to get another landscape finished by 19th October. There is a Tennyson Street Fair which is put on by Elim Church that I attend and I would like to have five paintings to show. (did I mention I sold a painting in the New Zealand Art show here in Wellington).

I have made a start on a new painting, this is the source photo. It probably features somewhere in this blog, possibly in 2007 when I first began photographing around Wellington. Have been listening to St Germain ‘Tourist’ while working on it, it was probably played around this time in the cafes that are nearby where this photo was taken.
