Jimmy Longacre_subjective realist landscape paintings_CAPITAL MORNING

This was my first in the series of paintings I'm doing of downtown Austin.  Trouble with doing scenes like this is the overwhelming amount of detail you can get trapped into trying to paint.  Simplification of values is key to making a painting that holds together.  Suggestion of detail works much better than trying to be descriptively accurate.
