(acrylic, 12x12, 2025)
The vision of the painting was supposed to be kind of blurry. When driving around at night usually it can get blurry and hard to see with lights surrounding you. I wanted to represent it in a painting. I started it off by slightly sketching the shapes so I don't fully have to overlap a bunch of paint. I started with the main pieces and then started working on tiny details. More and more, I would look at it, and I would find more stuff to add onto. It's not supposed to be perfect, so I would have some lights not in order and smudged. I usually use my fingers for a lot of the painting to blend it or smear it. Using your hands can help you a lot, and you have full control of it all. Not all people see like this at night, so I'm trying to show and relate to others. People who might have problems with their vision may see like this as well. My first intention was to just make a painting like this and blur it all the way and make it look like water on a windshield as if it was raining. The more I started to paint, I liked where it was going, then I just changed my mind. The thing I would struggle with the most is getting the colors right and not looking out of place. Having to use a lot of different shades of grey, blues, and black was what made it difficult. It's more of a realistic painting to me and hopefully for others as well.
