This moon greeted us when we were driving back from the Oregon Coast last night. I scribbled the idea in my journal and wrote down color notes. ... and had enough sence to paint it on some decent watercolor paper once I got home. I like how there is still a little light left when the moon rises in the fall. Later on it will be pitch black. It is a challenge to get a good edge between the moon and the sky.
Comments anyone?

ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely picture! You have caught the lights so well. I have been trying to paint evening and night scenes, but with little luck....never seem to manage the colour!
captivating!
ReplyDeleteI got up i the middle of the night last night and this is exactly what I saw also. Beautifully done Elva.
ReplyDeleteWow - this is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you all ....
ReplyDeleteand Brinda: I mainly used alizarine crimson and a dark blue for everything except the moon. There is a touch of green in some of the trees, but not much. Try a simple scene with these colors.
