Knox Nocturne, Railyard Chicago and I had to get

and I had to get close to the river for relief

just moments from I-81

looking into Times Square and savoring the long

A big part of my artistic process is gathering quality source photos

Knox Nocturne, Railyard Chicago and I had to getI first explored this motif in a smaller study and I liked the mood and colors within this subject so well that I decided to return to it in a larger scale. This is the heart of "Old City" in downtown Knoxville and I was fortunate to catch it during a crystal clear winter evening, when the light was spectacular. My home in Knoxville is just moments from this area of the city and I'm confident that I'll explore this part of the city more in future
