Boardwalk Days part 49

 Time to continue my efforts to color this practice copy of my latest boardwalk print.  I decided it would be good to have it done before the Open Studio this coming weekend, though I don't expect to have a copy to exhibit just yet, which is fine as I have no exhibitions scheduled right now.  So this morning I got up on time, got my stuff together, and left for the Studio around 10 am. I knew I had to detour on the way there.  When I arrived, I found the front lot almost completely full, except for one handicapped space. Luckily I qualify for those these days and have the appropriate tag to use it.  Inside, the new show was hung, art from the Guild in Shrewsbury.  I wasn't particularly impressed, but it's better than the blank walls we've had the past week or so.  Some signs Molly had been there (changes to my radio, some mess cleaned up, some new mess created), but she wasn't there now, so that meant I could play some music.  I had brought the rock/pop book with me, and from that selected a Joe Jackson album, Big World, which I had written about back in October of 2019 if you want to know more.

The plan for today was grays and browns, or what I think of has neutral colors.  This was a good part of the image, including parts of buildings, the light posts, the pavers plaza, parts of the figures, the boardwalk itself, and other stuff.  I may layer more color over what I have, but at least I have something down in those spaces. When the first disc ended, I put on more Jackson, this time his reunion album (with his old band) Volume 4, which can be read about back in March of 2020.  Meanwhile, work continued on the print.  Results at the end of the session can be seen below:

Eventually the second disc ended, but by then I had cleaned up my stuff and was ready to go.   I think that all that's left is color, blues, greens, and reds.  I think I'm on pace to get everything done by this weekend.
