"Just at Dusk" landscape oil painting

I worked on this painting a long time. Trying different techniques to achieve the emotion and drama I was shooting for......a recent post on Marc Hansons blog about nocturnes was very helpful(see Nov 23rd post) and caused me to change directions mid painting with limited results on this piece, but I hope will improve in some of my future night paintings.

I love these nocturnal landscapes you've been doing lately...so romantic! The filigree-like trees are especially nice, so intricate. Well done!
