cityscapes of San Francisco

I took a couple photos I liked enough to paint of downtown SF. Although I am hoping to paint more street scenes, I am drawn more to my own street in the suburbs, which I will share when I ahve a couple done.

So here is the city. I kept the palettes simple and focused on the light. I could have been looser with the technique. I think sometimes brush choice makes a huge difference. I need to stick with bigger brushes and stop with the tiny ones. I get caught up in detail and forget the big picture. Literally!
