It was cold and rainy but I really felt like doing a painting outside and I was testing out my new deerskin mitts. Painting with the mitts on was especially challenging but at least my hands were warm. When looking at these lights my eyes were a little watery and the lights formed a starburst effect which I captured using a wet-in-wet technique followed by some dry brush. The building below is the back of a recently rebuilt school called École Sainte-Catherine-de-Sienne. The portion in the painting used to be a rickety metal extension on posts, but now the entire structure is a continuous brick building with lots of big windows. Large pot lights illuminated portions of the school.
