| Heat? That sounds good, everyone. Where I live, summer is 2 months, trailing off into a warm and beautiful autumn. Typical summer temperatures are in the 80's, with occasional days in the 90's. Nights go to the 60's... | |

| Maybe we should have some sort of housing exchange as your weather sounds really good to me right now! | |

|  Here's another look, about 6 hours further in. The photo might be a bit dark: I am trying to compensate for the bright lighting in the studio that day. The next step is to finish the lettering on the vertical sign in the middle of the scene, then add lighting effects from passing cars, reflections, movement etc, to make the image a bit impressionistic; hustle and bustle.. | |

| Thanks Judy and Jan. Yes, this is a commissioned painting; the client had seen the photo montage that I am working with, and approved that. I also submitted a second similar montage image that I might develop into a painting; now that I have learned so much on this one. | |

| Thanks Faisal! I have a bit of time left in finishing this one, then on to another similar image. That's how I seem to work: beach scenes painted during winter, and Christmas themes are on my easel in summer | |
