Sometimes in the winter the atmosphere is so crisp and clear it seems like one can see forever. Last night was such an evening.
Colors are enhanced by the clarity of the air. The warm glow of the earth was a sharp contrast to the coldness of space. The planets visible are Neptune above and Venus below. Venus has a slight pink glow.
I love the process of placing washes of color down, letting it dry, and then putting down another wash. The subtleties of the color change are intriguing. This watercolor has about eight layers of color, one atop the next.
