There is something magical about painting at night. I start with a dark panel, and brush on the lights as I see them. From this humble beginning, the scene emerges. Union Station is one of my favorite places to draw, the lines and arches of this building are beautiful. When painting at night, I concentrate less on lines and details than I do on the impression of light. The real story is the light, and the planes are just the supporting actors. This one is in display at the Buttonwood Art Space for the upcoming Urban Abstract Show until April 29th. Painting number 1481 in 1481 days.
Do you start with a black canvas sometimes? I've seen that on tv with other artists. It IS the light that makes a painting. Excellent painting AND idea. Blessings, Janet
