Lights for Ghosts

 Today was about going places and painting things, after the exam pick up in the morning. This painting was done at Trenhome park in NDG after picking up the vegetables from Lufa farms drop off. It shows a skating rink that they set up in anticipation for the cold wintery weather that is impending. In the background are the many lights off on the horizon, far past the canal. I've oft painted the nights sky, but never quite captured the inky black colour to his extant. It's a heavy mix of dark blue (PB60) red-orange (PO73) and some lamp black (PBk6). For the grass, variations of olive green were created with indo yellow (PY110) perylene green (PBk31) and yellow (PY174). There were no soccer players here, so it seemed like a field lit up for ghosts.
