Midnight Copenhagen
gouache
“My hotel overlooked the Central Station Copenhagen, with Tivoli Gardens beyond. I’d heard that a firework display was planned so got comfortable for a great view. I sat and watched a massive digital clock on the railway station roof tick over, 20:00, 21:00, nothing, 22:00, 23:00, nothing, no fireworks today! At zero hour I realised that there was a possible painting. Midnight Copenhagen, mysterious, like a spy novel. Who were those people? Those cars? A minute captured, a story painted.”
