The early morning sunlight begins to stretch across the marina, adding warmth to the cool blue remnants of pre-dawn.

Historic downtown in St Petersburg comes to life just before & after the sun goes down. What attracted me to this particular scene were the lights and how they reflected in windows and table tops. This was "under painted" to establish values and tones, then expressed with palette knives.

There is always a colorful scene to paint downtown in St Petersburg Florida. The challenge of painting this was in capturing this space.... with docks, boats, buildings & trees, and putting it all on an area of only 5 x 7 inches.

The sun breaks into the sky at the St. Petersburg Marina in Florida. I arrived before sunrise and waited for the morning light to color the sky. When it did I was ready with my camera and took several photos as reference for this painting.

Downtown in colorful St. Petersburg, FL on a day that the heat emptied the streets of it's people. Still, there are a few brunch customers enjoying the colorful ambiance.

I painted this mostly with brushes, and used the palette knife to add perspective to the foreground.
