Etching and Printmaking - Illumination

I started the project by reading lots of poems, I ended up choosing one I had first read in sixth grade, called Oranges. It's a poem by Gary De Soto about a his childhood and this one time when he walked with a girl on a snowy night past a car dealership. I always imagined it was in the 50's because of the language, so I wanted to do scene set in that time. I was also inspired by a painting of an American dinner, so using those aspects I imagined an image of an old car dealership at night when it's snowing. I want to highlight the way the lights shine and how it's darker in some places.
