Painting New Orleans Blog

 

Hi everyone,

I have a big new show coming up and I wanted to share some of my inspiration. I've always wanted to paint rhythmic, vibrant, pulsating night scenes like my hero, Vincent Van Gogh. In my efforts to emulate these painted night scenes I have discovered that the deepest night is drained of color, but at twilight there is an intensity to the light similar to Van Gogh's dramatic vision. When the warm light from the houses and streetlamps wrestles with the afterglow of the sun in the sky, you get pure magic. This fleeting energy generated by the struggle between night and day is what I tried to capture in the paintings for the show.

The show is called "Twilight Time "at Gallery 600 Julia, formerly Jean Bragg Gallery with an opening March 5, 6-9pm in New Orleans. I will have about 20 new paintings for the show, along with the up and coming artist Ben Hamburger, who also paints expressionistic twilight scenes. I hope to see you there, but if you can't make it I will be sending a link to the gallery website where you can see all of the paintings online.

Thanks for reading,

Adam K. Hall
