"Lincoln Memorial Nocturne" is the third of my mini-series of Washington nocturnal scenes. Again I had to let it dry first, then go back to make the reflections look more watery. Painting water is a tough business, whether done en plein air or with a photo. I think I finally got it right.
As a matter of fact, among the three nocturnes so far, I like the way I treated water and reflections in this painting the best. It is kind of Monetesque, don't you think? All I have to say is that if a subject is particularly hard, instead of avoiding it, keep painting it!
