The normal, boring seaside town with associated industrial area becomes quite exotic. Elements of cartography and illusion.
But you know what is NOT easy? Photographing dark paintings!!!!

The speed of dark
I am painting "dark" today. No reason, just to play with darks. I find painting with darks (blacks, thalo green, aliz crimson, ultramarine blue) enormous fun and quite liberating. I love nocturnes, the surprise of light in the landscape and how everything looks quite different, magical. I can paint a whole canvas black and start far easier than a white canvas. I think of white and "blank" and black as " a start".

The title is a reference to my oldest son who likes to ask such questions.
