Porch Light is a small, 9x12 Acrylic painting of an area right past my home in my neighborhood. I took a series of photographs of interesting compsotions of subtle light with a surrounding darkness as I drove through my neighborhood around 3 AM. This is part of a series titled Dark Days, which sought to utilize elements of my neighborhood and what I considered nostalgic and home-like landscapes at night. It was partially to deal with the fact that I'd be moving away to Greensboro shortly after making these.
I paint in acrylic predominantly with Golden Acrylics, however I also utilize Liquitex, and even Liquitex Basics for underpaintings. For this particular series, I always start with a black gesso'd canvas, preferring to work reductively and only add lights, rather than darks. This one in particular utilized a purple/black mixture.
Porch Light has been showcased in a Holiday Art Market in CPCC's Ross Gallery, where it was sold in Charlotte, NC Porch Light has also been showcased in the UNCG Publication the Coraddi.
This painting is sold, however, if you'd like to commission something similar, please feel free to utilize my contact information here.
