"Moonlit Meadow" 11" X 14" Oil on CanvasI did this nocturne to work on the various shades of night sky. Night skies are always handled so differently by various artists I have seen. Good thing, keeps them from getting boring and allows the viewer to "see" better. Actual night can be so dark at times. I have found myself really checking out the light and what you can see, detail and color wise, on moonlit nights. This was done Alla Prima, like a lot of my work lately, which is always a challenge and fun as hell!
Here are a couple of details....

Ron, don't remember if I commented on this at WC, but I will here anyway. What a lovely piece! You're really tuning in on capturing the late-evening, night light and your paintings are becoming more and more masterful. Way to go!
Hi Dianne,
Thanks for the stopping by and your very nice comments. I really appreciate them.
Trying to get that light right in ones paintings is always a challenge but a very fun challenge. Even if you only get close it at least gives you another excuse to try again. Moving on to the next painting is something I always look forward to. Thanks again Dianne!
