A photo of cabs at the corner of 39th and Madison Ave. was the subject for Karin Jurick's Different Strokes From Different Folks challenge. I had a great time with this!
I have been learning a lot about seeing color by taking the original photo and increasing the saturation and individual hues in photo shop. Also looking at the photo without color helps to see the values.

Hi Annie,
I am new to the blog-o-shpere, having just ventured in to starting my own art blog (very fledgling) and I just wanted to thank you for your generosity and beautiful work. Yours is one of the existing art blogs that really pulled me, and I have read all the way through your blog, starting from your beginning posts! I find your art very beautiful and inspiring, and I am particularly touched by how generous you are with other artists (and anyone else following your blog) in your sharing of tips, information, resources, etc. for other artists - and even asking people to send in possible painting projects for you. Your way-of-being (if I can coin a phrase here) in blogland really encouraged me to go ahead and take part, and I just wanted to let you know. Wishing you continued success and all good things, Aliaena

You did such a fantastic job on this very busy assignment! Lovely, clean colors and crisp shapes.
Your version is one of my favorites from this challenge. It really sparkles with life.
I love the use of shadow and light in this picture. It's beautiful.
