I used this sketch to work out a technique for painting a night scene that I hope to do a little larger in the coming weeks. The scene is of the Muny Theater in Forest Park in St. Louis. I wanted to capture the glow of the theater entrance and evoke patrons arriving for the show. The flags line the Muny's entrance, and there is one flag for each of the shows that's being featured for the summer season.

Great job!! You've definitely captured the evening's glow.
Thanks Laure! I will probably do a few more of these just for practice; I already see some areas I want to change. But happy with the results for now! :)
Nice welcoming glow. Well done for capturing the feeling.
Great capture of the excitement and drama!
I probably already said this on your Flickr, but I absolutely love how you painted the night scene, "the glow", as everyone else said.
Steve, I finally made time to check out your paintings...this is my favorite, I used to give my youngest daughter two season tickets to the Muny every year for her birthday through her four high school years, we attended every Wenesday night. Now she's twenty-five, been married four years and has given me a beautiful grandaughter...THANKS for the memories! Cathy Dace (Alexander)
