Summer Nocturne, 6x6 Inches, Oil Painting

$100 & $10 S&H

  This is a town I used to live in.  Every year there's a carnival that comes to town and sets up across the peninsula that is the town.  From high on a hill you can see all the lights, and the wonderful turquoise lights (my favorite) of the ferris wheel, and its reflection in the shallow part of the beach.  I love  it.  I could gaze for hours at those lights!
Did you have beautiful weather this weekend?  We did - and we enjoyed every minute of it!

We are hanging the Girls Just Wanna Paint show this week at the Duxbury Library, stop by if you can.  our Opening isn't for another couple of weeks - I'll keep you posted.  I'd love to introduce you to my GJWP friends!  We also have two new members, Pam Copeman and Jody Regan, and we look forward to painting and hanging with them!

  1. Il n'est pas simple de peindre une toile "nocturne"... Le challenge est parfaitement bien réussi.

  3. A beautiful night scene, Kelly. I've never been to a carnival on the water, but I sure remember the excitement of the carnival from when I was young.

  4. I love how loose and juicy this is. Did you use a black toned board for this? Fun!

    1. It's Hull, sweetie. And a BEAR to photograph! When the camera let me capture the darks, the lights were toned down. :( It looks better IRL. Thank you!
