Knox Nocturne, Railyard Chicago when I go out to

when I go out to paint on location

It's a weird roadway because there are for-profit photography enterprises that set up along the twisting road and take snap shots of the hot rods and souped up motorcycles as they rip around the curves and bends

looking into Times Square and savoring the long

Knox Nocturne, Railyard Chicago when I go out toI first explored this motif in a smaller study and I liked the mood and colors within this subject so well that I decided to return to it in a larger scale. This is the heart of "Old City" in downtown Knoxville and I was fortunate to catch it during a crystal clear winter evening, when the light was spectacular. My home in Knoxville is just moments from this area of the city and I'm confident that I'll explore this part of the city more in future
