Still Life/City Life - 30 paintings in 30 days - Day 1

"Flag City", Oil on Panel, 6x6"

I've decided to paint all City Life and Still Life paintings for the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge this time around. I have been moving away from landscape for a while. It's funny how we (artists), tend to move around in our tendencies toward new inspirations. At least that's true for me. 

I was in NYC last year and took hundreds of photos. I especially enjoyed the evening walks and the lights of the city. This hotel was especially pretty, all dark except the beautiful warm glow of the lights above the lobby with the display of colorful flags. I knew I would have to paint it.
This painting is available on the Daily Paintworks Website.
