Twilight on Second St

It's so fun to paint in the heart of town in Lakeside, Ohio!  Bikes and golf carts are everywhere, as summer fun is in full swing.  This historic street offers endless possibilities for paintings!  I'm so happy this painting has a new home, too. 

Night at Stiefel Theatre

 

This theater is a jewel at night, lit so beautifully as the sun goes down!  I was on the opposite street,  drawing this building in ink right before it got dark.  By the time I had taken a photo and packed my ink and watercolor great, the lights came on!  I knew at once that I would not be leaving this location - not with that beautiful illumination happening before me!  So, I started with my oils with good street lights to make the job easy.  Love getting to paint such cool, historic places!  Painting number 3327 in 3327 days.
