First paintings of 2015

The paint is still wet, but the first paintings of 2015 were finished this weekend. I usually shoot photos of my completed paintings out on my studio rooftop. I wait for an overcast, cloudy day to do this since diffused light is best for shooting artwork. Sunday fit the bill - it was overcast but cold, with some snow flurries which made for a challenging shoot on the rooftop. These are based on sketches and reference photos I took and are part of my cityscapes series.
