It was lovely to spend such a beautiful evening painting with artist friends in historic downtown Augusta, and this golden gallery was irresistible! Using the light from a street lamp, I quickly marked out my masses with their local color. I like to start nocturnes while there is still some blue in the sky, before it turns very dark. This allows me to paint those hints of color that show in the shadows - while I can still see them. As my friends painted, I finished this and another painting of the cottage across from this building, too. It's rare to have such perfect weather, so I just had to take full advantage of it all. Painting number 5037 in 5037 days.
