A view from Midtown looking south. The painting is coming along as expected and now I’m going to focus on ‘toning down’ the lights a little, adding subtleties to their ‘glow’ which will give the picture more interest. The Empire State Building, seen here in mid ground will also be merged in tone to the background, to soften it’s appearance. I love the shape of the ‘BoAT’ (Bank of America Tower) and find it remenicent of Renzo Piano’s Shard tower on London’s South Bank.
