The Crest Theater here in Sacramento is indeed a jewel of a structure. It hosts both fims and various live performances. This was a GREAT exercise in VALUE control. I worked from a reference photograph and painted on a half sheet of 140lb. cold press watercolor paper.

    Wow! This looks like van Gogh's The Night Café. Only much more celebratory. Lovely light.

    Your fan in the dot (currently in NYC).
