I thought I was going to finish The Woman in the Purple Boots a few days ago but wasn’t able to. After letting the last work dry thoroughly, I finished it today in a short session. I added a few touches to the right-most figure and the right-hand background. Most of today’s work was on the big gray bag carried by the figure on the right. Based on The Woman in the Purple Boots, people today, women anyway, carry a lot of bags when they’re going about town.

The Woman in the Purple Boots 40″ x 50″. It is composed from several photos taken in Manhattan. I am starting a sister painting set at the same intersection and with many of the same figures. The sister painting is also 40″ x 50.”
