Although I rarely get the chance, I love to paint en plein air at night. This table set for two, complete with wine and glasses made the perfect subject for a nocturne painting. I start with a dark panel, and begin by laying in the light masses where I find them. Trying to pay attention to the temperature of that light is trickier when done in low light. I do not like artificial light for night painting, so I use a porch light to see what I can on my palette and panel. I never truly know what I have until I view the painting in the light of tre next day! Painting number 2317 in 2317 days.
