This is my copy of a Dylan anthology which has many of my favorite Bob Dylan songs in it.  The setting - a warm Summer night, a moonlit lake and some wine - just called to me for the sounds of a wailing harmonica and the right

ballad or two.

Nocturnal Shore

The key to doing nocturnal scenes is the use of black to intensify the dark places of the night.  This is a new direction for me, and each new piece is another challenge. They don't always succeed, but I like this one a lot.

Into the Night

 This painting is a real coup for me.  Getting the perfect balance between the cool light of the moon outside, and the warm glow of artificial light on the inside took a lot more work than I first thought it would, but it was worth the effort. I particularly love working with the worn surfaces of the old home interiors.

 

 

 

Night Meadow

What could be more right?  Without the nearly white form of the one animal, and the blaze face of the other, they would just blend into the night.
