On the way back from getting some groceries I saw the most amazing moon peeking through the sky. I grabbed my paint kit and headed out but the moon had gone behind the buildings and was not visible. Undaunted I marched out to the cultural center area where there are better sight lines and sure enough there was the moon. In the background is the cultural center, in the foreground right is the sports complex with a light on its wall. Unprepared for night painting, I did not have my head light or pyrol orange (PO73) which is the ideal paint to mix with indo blue for the night sky. I made due with pyrol red (PR254) but it made a way too dark purple. At any rate, the painting has lots of drama, and I saw a few more locations that would be neat for the next time the moon is out.
