Waning gibbous moon and Jupiter

This waning gibbous moon of October 15th is dramatically different from the previous night. The shape plainly shows that it is past the full moon and on the way to the last quarter moon on the 19th.


This painting, done 24 hours after the previous one, was painted about 9 pm on October 15 again facing east--a cool clear night full of stars and planets, and space.
