| Dear Subscribers, Greetings! It is good to be back at the easel. We were down in San Francisco visiting family and looking for a new apartment in south bay to rent starting next month. Yes, we are soon moving again! I happened to take a few photos while in SF, which resulted in a new (and larger) cityscape this week! The original photo:  I messed around with this in photoshop for awhile, experimenting with different colors and compositions until I had what I wanted. The first stage:  I decided to make this painting all about the tracks. I really played up the light on them. The next stage:  Next:  And the finished painting, "Trolley Tracks" (16x20):  JUST SOLD!:  "Blaze", from Carmen's Gallery. Until next week, David A. N.
