The night of the Brush Creek Nocturne Paint, I arrived late, coming straight from an opening at the Albrecht Kemper Museum. Choosing a small panel, I walked the whole area surrounding the fountain. I decided on a view I've never painted, from Broadway looking east. I liked the echo of light in the fountain and light on the background buildings. The sky was not yet completely dark, so I was able to mark those wonderful blues before they faded away. I always position myself under a street lamp, where it will illuminate my panel and palette while I paint. In this case, that light was a warm hue - which made my on location photo SO yellow I couldn't even post it! I never know what I walk away with at night - not until I see it in the daylight the morning after! This one was fun and very loose! Painting number 1724 in 1724 days.
