WIP Nocturne, Rua das Escolas Gerais, Lisbon Oil On Linen 18" x 24"

Slowly getting closer on this one. The yellow streetlights make it hard to see what is going on; the buildings are actually pink and blue and orange and white, but the yellow light erases all of that almost. Good to go back and see it in both daylight and at night.

I went into Lisbon last night with my photographer friend Greg (@greggawlowski) and spent some time on the Rua das Escolas Gerais, which I am in the midst of making a painting of. Here's an image from then.

TBT Six years ago today, I was returning from a wander up in Colorado and stopped for this sunset by the Chama River near Abiquiu.

Sunset walk. I love how sometimes it seems as if I am on an alien planet.
