The big Challenge

I am getting ready to paint a dark picture that was photographed at Night.  I want to put it in the condo in Austin.  This picture will be very modern, not detailed.  I showed it to Kate and she said I need to leave the cars in the picture.  So, I have primed my canvas to paint this picture I post here.  I was at the bridge with my son's and their wives waiting for the bats to come out.  We were walking through the newspaper parking lot back to our cars, when Bob took the picture of us walking from behind.  It has a great memory for me, and I like the vagueness of it.  I primed my canvas using Veridian.  I considered  it the best color, that was opposite of the colors I will paint on the canvas when I start.
This Canvas is very large by the way.  Yeah.!!!
I have some good photo's of Brandy now also.  So I can start a portrait painting of her too.  Yeah.!!!  My neighbor is trying to learn to paint too.  She is already bored with apples and oranges she said.  so I am taking something over to paint with her tomorrow.  You can't help but spend a fortune when getting started painting, besides the setting up somewhere and I think she is very discouraged at this point.  She isn't painting between class.
