Croyhill Lane



















This is the outline style painting I've been playing with for the last two days. As you can see I pretty much reverted to the nearsighted, fuzzy style of Back Courts Afternoon. That was not my intention, but I found that the scene  I came up with was just too cartoonish to be done either semi-realistically, or in the more straight up and down graphic arts style of hard lines and flat colors of the first small one. I don't think this worked, but oh, well, if you want assured success you don't go around trying new ways of doing things, which is pretty much the fun of painting.
