Evening at Stone Canyon Pizza
Oil on panel, 12x9
Parkville in Art Plein Air, Missouri |
Meeting a few artist friends for a nocturne paint on Main Street in Parkville, this was my third painting of the day. It was a beautiful day - warm and hardly a breeze for October. Not knowing how the night lighting would be, I had to wait until full darkness before choosing a location. The lights illuminated the awnings and building so well on the corner - I had to paint it. Setting up across the street under another lamp post, I had plenty of light to work with. I do not like using clip on lights - their blue color change the colors from what I see to what goes on my painting. It is always a surprise when I take a night painting into the light - just like Christmas! Painting number 657 in 657 days.
