A little more progress....

(C) 2018 Dale DiMauro

There is a lot of color in this painting, which I like. There is also a lot of space above my head which is important in this composition. It gives this picture context with all it's urban lines. In fact, there are few soft materials expressed in this watercolor.

However, it is good to take on new subject matter. Not only is it a self portrait, which is a challenge in of itself, but the perspective is complicated. 

This watercolor is painted on a full sheet which measures 22" x 30". On this scale the viewer is immediately drawn into the scene.

The building behind me is One Monument Square. Thus, this location feels rich in history. A cross roads, literary, of travelers, fire and cultural relevance.
