Close up

I am so thrilled to finally do a portrait of my Grandson.  When my son sent me the picture of them making a snowman after dark, I knew this had to be the one.

I have never painted a snowman nocturne!
What a fun challenge!

Night scenes are so fun.  They take on an abstract feel when painting the light's effects and darkness.

The lights if downtown Fort Wayne, IN are so exciting against the night sky.  This was from our first snowfall a couple weeks ago.  The MLK Jr. bridge is so beautiful all lit up.

The rainy city at night reminds me of one of my all time favorite movies, Bladerunner.   The night mist, the fog and all the lights set up an amazing play on the atmosphere.  A very difficult subject to photograph however.  So please note the lights and darks of this painting are much richer in person.

My usual challenge of trying to keep it fresh.  Clear color, not muddy and expressive brushstrokes not overworked. 

Sounds simple yet this can still trip me up more times than I care to count!

That's right, sometimes you just have to get in your car and drive.  The colors of the road and landscape in the twilight and headlights was so cool!  This painting is "related" to my last two posts.

Nightfall Nocturne Impressionist Landscape Stars Twinkling

"Nightfall"

2016

oil on panel 

6x6"

That beautiful moment when the sun fades and the brightest stars and planets become visible.   

I always wanted to be an artist but considered being a surgical nurse or an astronomer, hmm...quite the variety!  I am drawn to the stars like some are to the ocean.  I find peace, comfort and a closeness to our creator.  Looking at the stars makes one's worries feel much smaller and less significant.

Anyway, this painting seemed to paint itself.  I was really in the moment.  I wish that could happen more often then again it wouldn't be so special if it did.

I had to snap some shots of the sky while my husband and I were driving down the boulevard.  We were out on a Friday shopping for mowers again, yeah, we're exciting like that.  Anyway, the sky was amazing.  This almost has an abstract feel to it.  Very fun.

"Holiday Sparkle"

8x8" oil on gesso masonite

Ah, the hustle and bustle of Christmas in the city.  This piece was so much fun.  A study of shapes: positive and negative, brushstrokes, color and reflections.  The paint was still wet when I took this so the dark areas are much darker and richer in the actual painting.  Please note this is a bigger painting than my usual posts.
