Dexter Nightlife, Plein Air Commission. 8 x 10 Oil on panel. NFS
I will deliver this painting to the Red Brick Restaurant in Dexter this week. I was painting Night Visions at the Paint Dexter Plein Air Festival, and the owner asked for a commission of her restaurant. I came back on the last night of the event to complete the work. The temperature dropped down into the 50’s! This was August! I was not dressed for it, and ended up having to leave before I finished it. I ended up with laryngitis, but thankfully it didn’t last long. The laryngitis probably was due to all the talking I did during the event. Most of the work was completed on location. I added the people, benches and window lettering from a photo. So, I think you can classify this as plein air.
Or, I spy with my little eye something that is ORANGE! This weeks Sunday still challenge turned out to be a lot of fun. My Homeee, sis-in-law and I set out looking for all things orange to shoot. Hope you enjoy our day, we certainly did.
My Homeee wanted to make sure we knew what our target was, so she dressed in Orange to remind us.
My Homeee and I could not believe our eyes when we spotted this vintage A & W. This is actually their 2nd building which in itself was built some 60 years ago. The original A & W was located down the street in Elizabeth Park. A & W has had a location in Trenton since 1937, WHO knew they were around that long?!
Orange is the colour of my true love, photo’s! This Sunday still challenge was the colour orange. This is a compilation of one segment of my answer to this challenge. Stay tuned to my blog for more.
