Once again Karin Jurick gave us a great photo ref for the Different Strokes "one photograph painted by many" blog.
This is the corner of 39th and Madison in NYC. I painted it 8x10" with the goal of giving the viewer feeling of activity, action, traffic. The cabs are more fun to paint than you would imagine. Of course I had to try an aceo of them too:

Great entry to the DSFDF challenge. Lots of movement and action in both your taxi paintings!
Nice job Kathleen! It has great energetic brushstrokes and it looks like you had a lot of fun!!
GREAT job Kathleen! You went wide, and I went tall. I'm finding this a fun photo to paint too. I love your rendition and all the bright color in your piece.
Thank you Ann - I loved your 'mini' version.
Thank Dana.... I totally agree with your comments about left and right brain n this one!
Thank you Deb - I want to go to that Art Mill you wrote about!
Thanks, Kathleen, for the suggestion on my blog site to use a larger brush to accomplish a more loose look. Did you notice that Karin Jurick advocates the same thing on her comments with her Madison Avenue painting. I am picking up the best tips from all these wonderful blogs...thanks to all!
Great job, Kathleen...you sure nailed the hustle and bustle of the scene!
great paintings. Your dsfdf is well done
