oil on gessoboard panel, 6" x 8"
This is my first attempt at a nocturnal plein air painting, again using only a palette knife. I really wanted to capture that big round ball of a moon from the vicinity of my art studio, so I tried to work fast and furious as it was rising in the east over the hills of Sonoma. While my lighting setup enabled me to see the panel well enough (the light source was set on a chair), my palette was in shadow throughout, and so I had to later adjust the values in the studio. What a challenge!
