A gift, as well as something new for me to try - a night scene! I really enjoy the oil paintings of local scenes at night by artist (Ezra Suko) and thought I might try one in gouache.
A friend works at a nearby favorite restaurant and she's moving back to Thailand very soon. She asked me for a painting to take with her! What would be a good choice? I took a photo of the South Pasadena restaurant at night because the colorful lights around the patio are so festive. I thought a small gouache would be fun and not too much to pack. Our friend, who worked there for ten years, was surprised and touched when I gave the framed painting to her. Maybe I'll try a night scene in transparent watercolor next which I think would be quite a challenge.

ReplyDeleteThank you Terry! Had to leave out some small words of the sign. Would have been too cramped.
