Illustration Friday: “Theater” acrylic & ink painting

I’m submitting this painting that I took all day yesterday to paint to Illustration Friday under the theme “Theater”. I call it “Clear Northern Night”, but I’m entering it because, I kid you not, my favorite theater is the night sky. It’s acrylic and ink on gallery wrapped canvas: 2’x3’… 24″x36″ (approx. 61cm x 92cm). I’m going to need to get my professional photographer friend Mark Hemmings to photograph this because I just can’t seem to capture the vibrancy of the reds. It’s actually for sale for $599 in my online Etsy gallery.
