Donated to charity auction (prints available)

I rarely paint night scenes, so this was a departure from my traditional subjects. I was channelling JMW Turner and trying to capture a sense of atmosphere through dynamic brushstroke with this composition. This painting was donated to the “Silk Road” gala auction benefitting Asian Family Support Services of Austin (AFSSA), which helps survivors of domestic violence.
