It was a warm July evening and I was standing on pier four  just as the sun was setting and lights were beginning to come on.  I wanted to paint the skyway in the dark so this was a set up painting for the nocturne.  I wanted to use phthalo blue to get the glow in the night painting so I used it here too. I am excited about this one mostly because phthalo blue is very intense and I am rarely successful with it.  I think the intensity works well here.
