MEXICO CITY PAINTOUT


"RECYCLING" (9 x 12 oil on canvas) Reference Photo
This image is at the north end of 10, Ciudad Nezahualcoyotl, Mexico City. I made a Graphite Sketch and submitted it to Bill Guffey's Virtual Paintout blog. Then after hours of wandering through the city and tagging several potential painting locations, I came back to this same image. There was quite a bit of clutter behind the horse and cart which was removed to improve the composition.
