I had a concept in my mind but no reference material and something seemed to wrong. I stopped a worked on a smaller painting (to the rescue) and then I saw what I was trying do and that was to paint objects from two points of view. Like some objects I&#8217;m looking down at and others I was looking. A simple thing like perspective and I curious why I didn&#8217;t see it immediately.</p>
<p>Here is the small painting that I did today and back to reconstructing the larger painting.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: andale mono,times;">The prints will come in a few different sizes along with a satisfaction guarantee from the printer. The first print offered here is <a href="http://fineartamerica.com/customshop/bob-martin.html">&#8220;Landies Lounge&#8221;</a>.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: andale mono,times;">I&#8217;ve also updated my<a href="http://bobmartin-art.com/Gallery"> Gallery site</a>. I was surprised how colorful the painting are when they are all together.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t believe that I can understand what I am doing unless I have some time to reflect and I want to be painting as many hours as I can. So I am taking a short break from the <a href="http://www.knowing-art.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/meeting8.jpg">coffee cup</a> painting and did a rough sketch of two older people. I&#8217;ve noticed that they don&#8217;t look as old as I wanted to make them and just giving them gray hair is not going to cut it. I look for for photos on line that I can use as reference. Anybody got any ideas on how I should continue let me know.</p>
