Glad you like it Lesley! Personally, I love the depth of the metal on the top of the trolley. The HDR process is great for pulling the subtle variations of surfaces, which makes them more fun to paint. My goal is to bring as much information into the photo so those that cannot make it to San Francisco can still paint something from there with confidence. Have fun!

Oh, you are so generous to let us use this gorgeous photo. I like this scene so much, I might need to do it on a big birch panel and hang it on my wall. The hardest part will be trying to put my own spin on it. It’s so perfect already, the temptation is to copy it exactly.
