I’m thinking that continuing to post without a scanner is just silly. The first image here is along a road I can remember doing pastels of years ago; the layout of the more contemporary homes along the hillside is unique. The entire rendering is satisfying, but lacks the feel the more ornate buildings provide. IT’s just an errant balloon, running out of ‘lift’ and making an emergency landing. Nothing special.
The second image has more of what i want, though I need to work on it a bit- I stopped to do it on the way here and haven’t given it a second look. Till now.
