The count of nearly finished paintings this month is up to three. I seem to keep hitting a wall with these bigger ones. They are all almost but not quite there, and I end up getting frustrated and setting them aside. To give myself a break, a little sketchbook was dusted off and it was back to basics with a pencil drawing. It's been awhile since I've done anything in pencil and it was a nice refresher, a reminder to keep it simple. This one is from a photo I took this summer, looking at Toronto from a ferry ride to the regional airport. Only about 2/3 of the CN Tower fit into the sketch, which of course dominates the skyline in its extreme scale.
On a technical note, I've been getting a lot of hits from questionable web sites based in Russia. One of them even had a notice that it had been removed due to copyright violations. Seems a bit suspicious, and since I hate to cover my images with watermarks that can be removed by determined and patient personnel, I'm going to start post the images at a lower quality. Hopefully that won't affect how they look on a computer monitor, but it should discourage printing them out.
