Downtown LA Night

Downtown Los Angeles at night—buildings glowing with interior lights against deep blue darkness. Painted on location in a circular format, this nocturnal plein air study captures the challenge of working outdoors after sunset, responding to artificial light and urban atmosphere.

Painting plein air at night means working fast in limited light, trusting your sense of color and value when visibility is low. The thick impasto technique preserves the immediacy of the moment—quick decisions about where light hits glass, how darkness pools between buildings, the warm glow of windows against cool night air.

The circular format creates an intimate, porthole-like view of the city—as if looking through a lens or window at this nocturnal scene. The dark palette punctuated by glowing windows suggests the energy of downtown continuing after dark, buildings alive with light even as the sky deepens to navy.
