first picture of 2008

Studio, 2008
22" x 20"
Watercolor and pencil on paper

Since I only date my pictures by year (and usually always on the reverse side), I've always liked the first and last of each years' production. I find that I always pay particular attention to them as they are usually the only ones that I can pin an exact date to.

What I like about this picture is that it's the first picture to includes a new roof deck that we recently had completed and how the bottom half drifted into a lazy architectural map of the first few floors of the house.
