I rarely paint anymore, as my family frequently disrupts my work time, so I am forced to stick with drawing these days. However, I enjoyed painting, and thought I'd pull out an old one for this week's Illustration Friday. It is a rooftop view of part of Pittsburgh, during the winter. I painted from a photo I took on a typically bleak day in January. Thankfully, those days are behind me now as I pack for the desert, which is stark, but never bleak.
At least I hope. *

It may be bleak, but I like it. Nice composition.
This is a spectacular painting! Is it watercolor? The subtle colors and interesting angles and composition are wonderful. I'm sorry you don't paint anymore--you're so talented!

wonderful- you are truly multi-talented
Beauty Natalie!
Very nice work Natalie!
realism in watercolor fascinates me. your painting is fabulous. well done!!
This is outstanding! It's a shame you don't paint more often, but i understand the need for long stretches of uninterrupted time. I love the composition and the mood...it is bleak, but also peaceful. Wonderful work!
Very nice! I wish I could make paint behave that well for me.
really nice!
Great piece! I certainly miss your work.
So gorgeous! You know I'm a huge fan of your urban landscapes but I haven't seen this one before. It is bleak and wintry but very beautiful :D
This is a very moody piece--without being dark. Very nice.
Love the stark design and dramatic impact. And I just love this blog.
what a pleasure to return and see what you have added since I have last been here - each one a unique treat!
Amazing! Thought it was a photograph until I clicked to enlarge. Nice color palette too

It would be lovely if you would start to post again.
