People in a crowd - "Tourist trap" - painting in progress
[click on images to see larger]
I have always been intrigued by people I do not know. I wonder who they are, how do they experience things? Probably there are similarities with my own experience, but what differences are there?
In an anonymous crowd, they tend to take on a distant disposition, and yet feeling anonymous, they are curiously open to our scrutiny.
My Curiosity is not agressive or invasive but rather tender and compassionate. Each one has their own story, their own cares and joys.
On a more technical note, I always try to depict them in the least detailed way possible and still evoke how I perceive their state of mind.
What is their relation to the where they are and what is their interaction with people nearby or sometimes simply their spacial connection to the whole scene.
In this particular scene, the light picks out one person and gives her focus giving a more interesting or dynamic feeling to the painting.

"Morning Crossing" resisting the finish
I am getting close to the end with this one, but it is impudently offering some resistance (might as well blame it on the painting) so I am putting it aside for a while in order to minimize my frustration. When I get frustrated I start doubting and we don't want that do we?
