On the Easel: Moonrise
http://etorak.blogspot.com/2008/12/moonrise_26.html
Friday, December 26, 2008. On December 12, 2008 the full moon was supposed to be the largest in decades (don't ask me why or how - maybe Dana Wigdor knows). I'd been nursing an idea for a painting of the Mettowee valley flooded with moonlight and dotted with fire as part of my AOA proposal so when George Bouret (of Game Supper photography fame) e-mailed me the news about the December 12th moon and asked if I wanted to join a group hike to the top of Mt.

From Buddhism by Kevin Trainor. I gave my friend the option to choose either painting and she chose the first one, the realistic one. I was left with the semi-abstraction and after awhile I copied it and did a larger version. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
