NANCY CROOKSTON NIGHTRIDER

I’ve been studying nocturnal painting lately and found it difficult yet fascinating. I have loved some of the old illustration artists understanding of doing a night scene and I really studied their ideas. After working on quite a few paintings it finally felt like it was looking like the night. Western has always been a draw for me and combining them seemed to really work. At the last minute I decided to make him a sheriff and to have the moonlight glisten off his badge.

Thoreau is Nancy Seamons Crookston’s favorite quote, and one she has lived by. She loves to paint, sculpt, sketch with pen and ink and draw with charcoal and to grasp as much as possible while living life.
