This sketch is the ninety-seventh in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…

Day ninety-seven: This quick sketch is inspired by Edvard Munch’s oil painting “Night in St. Cloud” at the National Gallery in Oslo. Painted in 1890, Munch’s original is more rich with subtle shades of color than what you see here. What I appreciated most on an evening when I needed to finish my drawing quickly, is how effectively Munch’s simple design conveys atmosphere and mood with a minimum of brush strokes.
