A SOLO EXHIBITION BY AERIN
8PM, Aerin, 2021.
24"x24", acrylic on canvas.
I don't have any in progress pictures for this one because I went on winter break while I was painting it, and having a schedule disruption messes me up and usually results in me forgetting to take pictures. I made a lot of thumbnails, though, because I sort of liked this composition but there was something about it that just wasn't appealing enough. I still feel kind of "meh" about the end product compared to some of my other paintings. But, I figure, with 17 paintings, they can't all be my favorite and that's okay.

This piece is pretty similar to a few other pieces I made, and it's also partially based off a photo. I made this painting after I came up with the composition of 2020 but couldn't work on it because I didn't have a suitable canvas. It's very similar in color scheme and with the way I depicted the trees. It's also conceptually similar to 2019, because this is also a section of the road that led to the house I lived in while I painted 2019. The composition was from the picture I took, though. The lone street light with trees was so cool. I decided to add in the road that is cut off in the picture. I also put some blue lights in to the final piece that are meant to be coming from headlights because 2019 has headlights and I wanted to reference that.
