Day three hundred and sixty: I invented this cityscape so I could paint a waxing moon and a lone star like those I observed out of my apartment window around 6:00 PM this evening. When I noticed the moon hanging low in the sky, I realized that the one I painted on Christmas Eve was entirely wrong! The part of the moon in darkness is still lighter than the night sky, not darker. And the sliver lit by the sun should appear to the bottom and right within the circle, not to the right side. Of course painting this type of moon and one star only took about two minutes, so I had to add some sort of scene to go along, even if it was something simple.
