Street Lamps is a small, 8x10 Acrylic painting of the road I used to take down my neighborhood. I drove through it one night, around 3AM, and decided to photograph the areas that had moments of darkness, and a single concentrated area of light. 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.
Street Lamps has been showcased in a Holiday Art Market in CPCC's Ross Gallery and it has also been showcased at Legion Brewing in 2019.
