Over at Coffee Park I noticed the moon clearly visible during the late afternoon, hanging over the trees and commuter train tracks. Using artistic license I moved the moon down to fit on the page. The blue sky looks almost as if it were painted with cobalt blue, with that soft granular effect, but it is actually phthalo blue, which froze and formed crystallization patterns. A train rolled by, adding to a sombre atmosphere.

There are new lamps in Coffee Park, they also constructed a new community building and water park area last summer. I liked how the lamps looked like UFO ships, and how the yellow-orange contrasted with the cool blue and turquoise background elements. Despite waiting awhile for it to dry, the background remained stubbornly moist and made the trees blend in a bit. Anyways, the colours and textures are nice, and the walking path invites you to go for a stroll.
