Old Chicago Night This painting is a re-creation of Chicago during the Prohibition era. It is a completely imaginary scene but I based it somewhat on my own research of vintage photos from the time period with plenty of artistic license. As an impressionistic work, I was primarily interested in capturing the hustle and bustle of a teeming metropolis from a colorful time in the past. I enjoyed painting the antique automobiles and streetcar. I purposely chose a palette of warm brown tones for a vintage look. I also used some metallic paint sparingly, in both copper and gold, for the very first time. I liked the effect on this piece and I will use it again where it might enhance a painting.

" I love the romance of the city at night. I am a painter of contemporary night city scenes, Abstracts, Urban Fantasy scenes and narrative works inspired by pop culture. I try to express mystery, beauty, and wonder in all my work. Lights glittering like broken glass have always fascinated me. The sparkle of city street lights, the neon signs, and the pulsing glow of traffic, create a sense of excitement and an underlying feeling of danger and edginess that is almost intoxicating!" Why I love to paint the rain - "An early childhood memory of a car ride with my parents during a cold night thunderstorm has been indelibly etched into my mind. Huddled in the back seat under a wool car blanket with my brothers and sister, I was warm and safe as the rain pounded the metal roof and the tires swished and hissed through the flooded streets. Surrounded by warmth and hearing the murmur of my parent’s voices I drifted in and out of sleep and watched the wavering reflections of colored lights reflected by the streams and droplets on the steamy window glass. I have never felt as safe and loved as I did that night. Lulled by the rhythm of the windshield wipers and the sound of distant thunder, I fell asleep. Even today a stormy weather soothes me, but I also do some of my best painting when working on rainy days." ~ Tom Shropshire
