Getting a photo of a nocturne on location is so very hard! The color is not true under the warm street lights, and I didn't even remember to get the photo until I framed, but here it is! Full of energy when I started painting with two friends out on 1st Street, I was dragging a little by the end of the process! Having dinner and a glass of wine first slowed me down a little. Finishing after 11:00, I then had to take care of posting, blogging and showering before bed. I had accidently dipped into a new olive green I'm trying out that is very, very dark, and it mingled into my night sky. I actually thought of this mistake in the middle of the night, and wondered how my painting would be affected. It was different from my norm, but I decided to leave it. This painting won the 1st Place Award tonight for Owensville, so maybe I'll start mixing in that green to my nocturnes - lol! Painting number 3199 in 3199 days.
