Village Morning

Image size: 17" x 21"

Village Morning began as a sketch from a friend's window in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. The left third of the picture was, for the most part, drawn from life. The plants, animals and people were added from imagination, as was the second building, and the view down to the street. My original sketches are often a starting point from which I add whatever will contribute more energy and spirit to the scene. This has the added benefit of keeping me happy as I do it!
