👋 Let’s try this again: popping back after all the shenanigans on Twitter.

For folks new to me, I'm Andy, and I'm a painter of nocturnal cityscape paintings, predominantly of Sheffield, UK. [see photos]

Two paintings, painted realistically showing night scenes. The first painting shows 3 traffic lights of z crossing, on a road surrounded by trees. The second image shows Andy holding onto a painting he's made of a busstop , with pavement and road tarmac showing. In the background is a concrete building and a street light can be seen shining through the perspex glass of the busstops roof.
Again, two paintings are shown. On the left, Andy holds a very quiet and still painting of a lone street light surrounded by shadow and mist.<br /><br />The second shows a house in darkness, silhouetted against a brooding dark sky. A street light sits at the front of the building and is surrounded by scaffolding, its light shows the building is being repaired.
On the left, a painting shows a view of tramtracks going into the distance. On the horizon, a blueish bright light contrasts against the much darker sky and shadows of trees, pylons, and fencing.<br /><br />On the right, a bus stop fills the picture.  The angles are quite sharp, so the painting has a gothic expressionist feel. A bright light lights the bus stop from behind. But the rest of the background that fills the picture is dark and half formed.
The painting on the left shows step leading up to some kind of enclosed metal bridge.the steps are surrounded by wooden fencing and metal handrails that come together making the whole picture look skeleton like. A warm light shines from the left, a bluish ligh sits on the right, both give the scene a strange warm, pink/purple glow.<br /><br />The painting on the right shows a tall, looming building in dark silhouette against a night sky. Surrounding it are much lower buildings and city street lights. The contrast between the building's size and style is huge. A strange gothic feeling of looming castles is evoked though what is seen is contemporary.
 
It’s hard to get a morning run in along the waterfront in Porto… kept stopping to take photos haha.

One of my early works. A cityscape of Ulm, Germany. Watercolor and colored pencil. Created 20+ years ago, a gift for my husband. Inspired by our travels together, painted with a love of # # and this beautiful city.
