“The individual is capable of both great compassion and great indifference. He has it within his means to nourish the former and outgrow the latter.”

If you’re wondering why I didn’t post anything yesterday, it’s because WordPress would not let me insert my photo. On an art blog… there’s not much point without the eye candy. I am having a great time painting skyscrapers. They are so full of personality and I find myself wondering about the history and the people who are there now.

I’d look at this one twice and then come back a third time just because of those reflections. This one really catches the eye because of them. Love it!
Beautiful cityscape painting Beth!!! Your detailing in the buildings is fantastic!!! ~Sophia
Thanks, Sophia! I’m having so much fun doing these!
I’m a sucker for a good city-scape. Are the buildings really that colorful or did you “Beth” them up?
Thanks, Carol! Well….. maybe a little Bethville influence.
I do love the cityscapes! And wonderfully neat with the water reflection! Very pretty variation in the clouds too.
I did wonder about yesterday! Hooray for your triumphant return.
Thanks, Cindy! It’s especially nice to know I was missed!
