Monday Morning Art: Bookstore By The Lake

My Myasthenia Gravis has abated enough that for the first time in about six weeks I’m back to sharing some new, physical art.

Inspired by photos I took from our hotel window on a recent trip to Lexington, this is a small acrylic painting of Joseph-Beth Booksellers, in Lexington Green, as seen at night, with the very noisy Nicholasville Road in the background.  The hotel and book store overlook a little lake, which is stocked with many lovely and ill-tempered fowl, like Geese, Ducks and Swans.

While this scene is ripe for applying Hoppersque technique to it, I did not do so consciously. That’s likely to change should I decide to recreate this on a larger canvas. It won’t take that much effort.

This was basically just an attempt to make anything cohesive with my fingers.  It’s acrylic on illustration board, with a bit of Winsor Newton ink used to stretch out some of the darker colors.
