This morning's 'nocturne surprise' was a good one! One never knows what will come out of the trunk after painting in the dark! I just couldn't resist those reflections on the water! I had hardly set up on the back side of the pond when bugs invaded my space! Gnats were everywhere to welcome me - so I grabbed my pochade quickly and jumped in my car. I had to get out twice to get the gear I needed, each time letting in bugs. With my pochade on my lap, I painted as fast as I could before my light was gone, using only one easel light on low. With the scene so dark, I couldn't have the car on, and didn't want to draw even more bugs, lol. Another buggy plein air adventure, but I'd do it again for a scene like this! Painting number 3790 in 3790 days.
