Night Sky

"Night Sky"
6" x 6"
Oil on hardboard

The last vestige of day groveled on the horizon, while streetlights dashed their amber glow to puddles on the ground.

This night painting is a weekly challenge on Dailypaintworks.  Since I paint a lot of skies, I thought I'd paint as similar to the sample sky as possible.

Cymbidium Night

Oil on canvas panel

While Cymbidium planned to shed tears that night, she didn't expect them to leave purple stains on her pouty little lips. 

Thank you for being here with me tonight.

Watery Lily

"Watery Lily"
12" x 24"
Acrylic on wrapped canvas

The small, corporate pond was unremarkable by day, but by night she donned a sophisticated alure in the reflected light of nearby shoppe lights. 

I'm unaccustomed to painting in this realm... dark, really dark values.  This low key painting is one of the few you'll ever see from this artist.  I'm just not comfortable here.  In fact, it kind of makes my heart palpitate, like I'm suffocating to paint this dark.  But it was an experience! 

Watery Lily funnels right into DPW.  If you're interested in purchasing it, or looking at the rest of my paintings in my gallery, click here. 

Thanks!
