I LOVE painting on Main Street in Fairfield - especially at night! Intending to paint a nocturne, the gorgeous sunset drew me right in! I very quickly sketched the lines, then jumped right to the sunset ablazeI. The light is so fleeting that I lay in those colors fast and loose, adding more detail as I go. When all the color faded, i began the buildings, with only a few color notes to guide me. Before long, I could no longer see the shapes of the buildings, so I called it. The painting is actually bluer than the yellow street lights portray. I love the quiet of painting at night - even in town. I'm happy this painting has a new home in the bank on the left, with a couple of mine from previous years! Painting number 4652 in 4652 days.
