Downtown Des Moines and Gray's Lake

Piece description from the artist

Immediately after dusk, the sky displays a vibrant blue, and the city lights come alive. While sunset provides a sense of peace and calm, the blue hour brings with it a renewed energy of what the night might bring. I love the endless possibilities the blue hour presents.

In this scene I was drawn into the vibrant blue after sunset, and the way the buildings reflect light in Gray's Lake. The buildings seemingly glow at this hour, and have their own vibrant appeal against the evening sky.
