I have longed to paint this large for my own wall all month long. The first two oil paintings were painted in the daylight hours - and both sold. As we came back from dinner at Crown Center, we walked through this majestic hall at night. WOW, was this place breath-taking! In all these years, I've never been down there after dark, and I did not know what I was missing! So, for this large substrate, I had to capture that nocturne beauty. I have chosen a different vantage, one that I looked at the very first time I painted here, and started with all the line work. I see a few adjustments needed, and a bit of work left to do, but I ran out of time and wanted it on the wall for today's Christmas celebration! After a day fun of family, food and fun, I will let this painting rest until tomorrow, and probably add more paint while it hangs on the wall - lol. I may just leave this one up long after the holidays are over. This place brings back happy family memories, and time spent with my dad on a bench, enjoying the beauty of this place. Painting number 3263 in 3263 days.
