This is another nightscape painting of mine. Even the angle of view is a bit more particular, I finally consider it as a night urban scene.

I wanted to see if I could capture an "Impressionistic" picture with a camera instead of a brush.

Beautiful nightscapes, Dan and Benjamin!

Some really nice work! Here are a coupla mine.

Great thread Mona, enjoyed so much viewing these wonderful artworks!

This may not be exactly what you might call a nightscape, but it is a scene of an inner city homeless man on a city street at night.

Thank you all very much for sharing your wonderful night scenes!!! :)

Wonderful nightscapes!!! :) Thanks all for sharing!

It isn't total darkness/night, but I hope it is close enough for government work.

Speaking of night scenes; do any of you folks take a bodyguard along on your night shoots? I used to hire an off duty policeman at $50 for protection. That way I wasn't concerned about any ominous wrongdoers nearby. Ocala isn't conducive to night shots. When I visit strange cities I don't feel safe during hours of darkness. Just wondering.

"Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree."
- Antoine de Saint-ExupÈry

Great works, Harry, David and Wendy! Thank you for sharing.
@Wendy: beautiful quotation by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. :)

@EMONA -- Thanks; it's one of my favorite quotes. ;-)

One from Sydney, NSW, Australia



Emona, you have some beautiful work in your galleries! Thanks for starting the thread!

Cheers!

This could be any city anywhere from the water... I made it up - I think it is "on fire" because of the approaching Autumn but also because I have lived rurally for 30 years and the city looks like it is on fire and never sleeps and busy bustling activity while the viewer (or I the painter) seem to be looking across the water at it from a distance - This is an original acrylic painting on 24 x 36 gallery canvas - everyone's work is wonderful on this thread !! Nice to see such a variety ;)

Gorgeous works everyone !!! Thank you all so much for sharing. :)

Thanks for the thread Emona. :)

I am also enjoying all of these beautiful works - Keep 'em coming folks !!

Brian, I'm so glad that I opened this thread! A great chance to see so many wonderful images!
Thank you all again for sharing your gorgeous nightscapes!

fabulous paintings EMONA .... true painting a scenes at night. is a real challenge ... I think any artist should change lighting conditions from time to another to explorer more and more rather to stay at one light condition

@ Jane: Thank you very much for sharing your great nightscape!

Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan and Busan, South Korea by night. I have a bunch more, but my other job (the one that pays the bills) doesn't leave me much time to work on my photographs as much as I'd like.

Beautiful night photos, Theresa, David and Lynne! Thanks for sharing!

A few more views from London, Tower Bridge, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, and Carnaby Street at Christmas. Not exactly unique, but I like 'em ;-)

It was my first night in Miami and the downpour started just before sunset. The setting sun and car lights painted the surrounding buildings and the wet city streets below in a palette of vibrant colors as the sounds of traffic on wet streets and sirens drifted up to my balcony. After five years living in a small college town, it seemed like I'd moved to a different planet.
