"July 1, 2017, Fireworks", plein air oil on panel, 12" x 16", Code #070117 12x16, c. 2017 by Charlene Marsh.
This painting was done "en plein air" during the fireworks display in my
hometown of Nashville, Indiana. They stage the show at the football
field of the local high school and I set up at the nearby fairgrounds with a
few thousand other people.
I started the painting at dusk before the
show started and continued into the dark using a small headlight
occasionally to illuminate the progress and mix colors.
You can see from this photo how dark it got! But what a spectacular opportunity to paint!
Being a tourist
town, they have a big budget for the fireworks and they went on for
nearly an hour with a huge, spectacular finale. The crowd roared and
cheered at the conclusion.

Happy Fourth of July! May God bless America!
Thanks for following along!
Happy Trails!
Cheers,
