Our Pieces of Eight painting challenge for February was to illustrate a song or poem, so I chose the old standard "Moon Over Miami." Go to the Pieces of 8 blog to see all the challenge responses.

Jefferson Memorial, 7x5 Oil on Canvas Panel
SOLD
I love nocturnal paintings because they are dramatic. Daily painter Karin Jurick used to have challenges on her blog, and I painted this in response to one of her challenges. Another nocturnal painting I like a lot is below, Nighttime at the Loveless Cafe. Any trip we take to Nashville includes a trip to the Loveless Cafe, which is a famous restaurant attached to a 50s motel. We went there one night and spent considerable time waiting to get in, so I had plenty of opportunity to take photos and paint and name the painting in my head.

The Violinist, 5x7 Original Oil Painting on Canvas
I painted this from a bad cell phone photo shot in a dark cafe. I then Photoshopped it until I could make out the musician enough to paint him. He was with the San Miguel Five, a band that is famous in San Miguel de Allende, and for good reason. They played haunting Argentine music that was at times so sad that it made someone cry (I won't say who). I love night scenes, and I love to paint musicians and feel the music all over again.
