I woke up very early today and noticed the moon in the clouds and I couldn't resist. Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" was playing in my head, so I put it on to listen to. These paintings are hard because the lack of light means, lack of color! I don't mean on the painting as much as on the palette! I couldn't tell ultramarine blue from burnt umber or what color I was mixing. A head lamp helped but it will blind you if it shines directly on the canvas. Still, it is a lot of fun painting these kind of scenes.
