On the way back from the grocery store there was a spectacular crescent moon over the auto shop across the street. I didn't have my paints with me, so I made a mental note of the exact time and decided to go back another day. Then, I figured might as well do it now. Now or never they say. There was no light on my paper or palette so I had to work fast. I used a filbert brush for the whole painting, it is about a half inch with a crescent shape tip. Getting the sky blue was tough, the bottom part is a dark cyan, the top more blue-grey. The clouds still had some residual salmon-pink from the sunset, just before night.
