City Snow Fall

While visiting my Mother-in-Law a couple of weeks before her death, I noticed a magical print outside her room by G. Harvey called "Children in the City". It depicted a snowy city scene where the street lamps, building windows, and street car windows shown brilliantly against dark backgrounds. I wanted to attempt to reproduce the light/dark contrast effect in a similar painting on some new linen canvas paper that Jill gave me for Christmas. Below is my work.
