New Chinese Lanterns from Chinatown Los Angeles

I have taken my hard fought knowledge of how to paint lanterns and applied it to a new painting- in a vertical format.

This one, is obviously going better than the last. I have an understanding of how I want to abstract and simplify all the shapes.

For now.. only the background lanterns have been painted ...and the middle ground ?? Just a few.

There should be some rain on Monday -- which will allow me time to begin the giant foreground lanterns to flesh out the rest of the picture.

I like this one better... and hope to pull it off with mimimal execution!
