4" x 8" oil on canvas soldThis is my San Francisco Painted Lady painting for Karin Jurick's blog, DSDF. Once again the challenges were mighty, not just architecture again, but pastel architecture, hmmm. I liked the 4"x8" crop because I was able to emphasize the giant crayon. My goal here was to keep the brushstrokes loose and not get hung up on making it perfect.

To me you have such a lyrical way of painting that is so lovely.
Very nice, Angela - I really like the way you cropped it. Beautiful.
Dominique & Edward,
Thank you so much! You two need to get painting, I haven't seen your paintings, yet...looking forward to seeing them.
Hi Angela, thank you for your comment about my pre-DSFDF victorian and congratulations on the sale of your DSFDF victorian!
Edward, that was a nice little surprise, thank you.
Thank you very much for your sweet thoughts of Cairo, Angela, they are very appreciated.
Edward
Love the tall skinny composition! Crayon is a good name for it, especially with those colors. Nicely done!
Hello R. - Thank you so much; you know amongst all that architecture, all I saw was a giant crayon. I'm on my way to check out your blog.
Where was I? I haven't seen this. I love this Angela! Your style and sense of humor are wonderful.
Sheila, thank you for the encouragement, this was a tough one!
Great painting and love the “crayon” name, very creative. Thanks for the nice post on my blog.
I never thought of a crayon. Now I will always see the crayon. :) Nice job! I will be looking for your students finished Starry Night...
Conrad - Along with what others have said about these DSFDF challenges, I would never have chosen to paint this...I need the push to paint something other than cows and dogs.
Bill - Maybe it's because I'm around children all day long that made me think crayon! Thanks for taking a look at the Starry Night project, hopefully we will have this finished by early March - at least that's my goal :).
