Dark Disney 20"x30" (Private Collection)

This was fun to paint. The original image came from one of our family trips to Disney World. This trip was in October so we were able to attend the "Not So Scary" Halloween party. We sat near Cinderella's Castle and like always we snapped a million pictures. With a ton of fire works behind her the Castle looked beautiful. For a few years I have been wanting to paint this and I truly enjoyed working "dark." It allowed for blends that I would have never dreamed of on a lighter painting. Once this was finished I received a few compliments. One was from my oldest brother Doug. Not many people know this but he took me in when I was 19 and was trying to get my life on track. He never asked for a dime or gave me any grief. I hope the gift of this painting is a decent thank you, so many years later.
