Nightfall II, Chicago pastel by Niki Gulley

"Nightfall II," Chicago ©2010 Niki Gulley

10" x 8" pastel

I wanted to paint a Chicago landmark in a unique way, so I chose this photo of mine to work from of Buckingham Fountain at night. I love how the lights after dark create a dreamy, romantic feel to most scenes, especially when reflecting on water. I remember hearing the symphony in the background synchronizing with the lights on the fountain and creating such a magical night.
