I worked on my 'dark gardens' today. There's a bit more colour and detail in the latest version, on the right. I wanted to brighten the school security light, and to define the trees, our neighbour's pergola and our round table.
The sky could still be murkier, but I've tried to balance the painting so that it remains a soft snow-scene from 2 am, but still reveals a level of detail. I wanted the effect to be one of peace and humanity.
