Thank you for dropping by. My family recently returned from New York City, and I had the opportunity to do a few very quick oil sketches. There are endless painting temptations there for an urban painter! I used the small cigar box pochade pictured below and, because my good-quality paints were confiscated at the border, some cheap oils bought in Manhattan. Not ideal for me, but these were good opportunities to learn. All are 6"x7", oil on panel, each completed in about a half-hour.
