Tough conditions, demanding light—and exactly the kind of challenge that pushes the work forward. That’s what the 31 Day Challenge, organized by @artbyandreaehrhardt, is all about (more at Artbyandreaehrhardt.com).
This image was made around 4:30 a.m., lit only by moonlight after a recent rain. Working in near darkness forced patience and restraint, shaping a quiet, atmospheric result.

Balloon Parade at Sunset
Color, energy, and a little bit of whimsy floating into the evening sky. This parrot balloon stole the show as the clouds lit up in a painterly burst of yellow and blue.
Now printed as an 8×8 metallic — and I’m considering a full 12×12 glossy metal for the booth.
✨ DM if you’d like to reserve a signed print.
