La Vie Nocturne No. 1

In La Vie Nocturne No. 1, the quality of light seems to change after midnight when la vie nocturne- (night life)- makes an appearance as if on a painting created on blue velvet. In fact, there are those who say that this very light lends itself to an aura of magic and mystery.

This is paintography piece and a digital rendering from my acrylic on canvas. It evolved from my original art to this digital image in my studio here in Asheville, North Carolina. The visual story emphasizes the fraught process of selection we—each of us-- face daily—that being the choice to look for beauty and possibility in what is around us.

Theme and Symbolism: : In this paintography piece, the colorful umbrellas represent possibility. The door is open...the lights are on even in a dark night. The juxtaposition of color with changing light symbolizes positive change through imagineering. Here, too is the story of longing for connection a tale of change with compassion. This is a theme that runs through what I paint on canvas.

What happens in the wee hours that transcends the ordinary? This series explores that question. It is dedicated to the sensory perceptions of the night. I hope you will be intrigued.


Method: Here you may notice layers and more layers, and overlays in the final photo-montage. There is a Fauvist influence to highlight the visual narrative. Many observers enjoy how color separates itself from its usual representational and realistic perspective against a backdrop of darkest blues-to-black.. I hope to give impetus and spontaneity with bold brushstrokes and/or colors. You may be intrigued with the emotional meaning as it emerges. Or you may respond to a connection to the essential character of the subject that seems more “touchable” against this backdrop.

NOTE:Working out a mixed medium/ photo-montage technique that you see in this with textures and layering for the effect unfolds in this composition via the juxtaposition of color I mentioned. I hope this piece reaches out in a feeling of flow and freedom.

** This artwork is available in a variety of framed and unframed gallery-quality prints, home décor items such soft and durable duvet covers, fabric shower curtains, and throw pillows as well as greeting cards and weekender totes.
