At the back of Trenholme park is a soccer field that is not often used for soccer, but they keep the strong amber lights on most of the evening. The field lights cast an eerie orange glow on the field, surrounding trees, and goal posts. In the background is a a long warehouse beyond the train tracks, it had a lights on which produced a bluish glow. As usual I used pyrol orange with indo blue (PO73 , PB60) to create the dark blue sky, with a bit of magenta and green (PV19, PG7) near the top to create the black sky. The hardest part was the goal posts, I had to paint around their shapes with successive layers with just a weak park light, and my bike headlamp for illumination.
