On the 3rd of July, bonfires are allowed on Humarock Beach.
When those are lit and the fireworks begin
it's an amazing sight!

Note: I did this on a gesso board toned with black
and started with the lightest lights.
Nocturnes are fun to do!

You captured the feeling of dusk with the brightness of the fire so well! I want a mallow!
ReplyDeleteReally nice piece Nancy. I also like to start with a gessosed black surface sometimes. You can see the colors contrasts better. I get lazy though and don't prepare my panels every time!
ReplyDeleteNice fires burning, Nancy-they look very warm give off a nice glow. I would like to try the black gesso underneath.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed catching up with your blog . . . love your strong colors and shapes . . . they delight!
ReplyDeleteThere's something so early 20th-century old-school about this. As in, the derring-do of the Wild Things. Wouldn't you love to be accused of Fauvism? I would!
ReplyDeleteConsider yourself accused.
I agree with SamArtDog about the old school feeling. the colors and values are fabulous.
