"Close of Day" Bremerton . landscape oil painting

I worked late in Bremerton last week.....the night was clear and the stars were out, so after finishing the job, I walked around the back alleys taking pictures in the dark......good thing I'm not a photographer!!......but I was able to do some sketches from the barely discernible images....The economic crisis as effected my work but it is hard to be discouraged when I have all this extra time to paint!!! sold
From the sketch book......

This is lovely! Sometimes I think the main reason I paint is because I am such a lousy photographer, sometimes you can do so much more with paint.

Oooh, mysterious and dramatic. I love it!

I used to spend hundreds on developing film, and all I would get would be maybe 3 good shots out of it. Love, love, love digital cameras.
