"Philly at Night" (study), 11in x 14in, Oil on Canvas


This is another urban study for a larger piece I plan to do. Believe it or not, my initial inspiration for painting this was one of the opening scenes in Rocky 1! This is quite different from the shot in the movie, compositionally, but the original screen shot really plays up the contrast of a greenish-grey environment with a red fire hydrant. I wanted to capture this in my painting. I'm looking forward to painting a larger version of this!
