Illustration Friday - Blur - one of my favorite cities...New York!

Hi Everyone....when I first saw the prompt on IF for this week...the first thing I thought about was New York....everything is all a buzz there and if you don't focus it can all be a big blur of activity....I have to go there soon!!!

I had a lot of fun working on this piece...it was so out of my comfort zone...so loose and fun...and no details...I think I enjoyed it and I hope you do too....

Happy Friday !!!

hugs
Diana

  13. What a wonderful blog, thanks for sending me the link. Is 'Illustration Friday' something that you do by yourself or is it an organized thing? I haven't heard of it before

  16. Fantastic! You're absolutely right. NYC can be such a blur with all those lights and bustling. You're going soon? Wonderful! You'll get to see all the Christmas lights up. I love those streaks on the taxis. They really look like they're zooming!
