Moonset--watercolor

Moonset, 6 by 10 inches, on a scrap piece of 300 pound d'Arches paper
Inspired by the photo at the top of the blog, taken on the first day of class at UCO, and by step-daughter Alexx Reger who said I should paint it. Thanks, Alexx!

  2. I love the utter stillness that this painting elicits. It is imbued with the perfect evening light. Masterful. Paintings of the moon always set me to wondering.
