La Luna

I have recently become aware that I have an obsession with THE MOON


I watched the Venus Transit, I loved the lunar eclipse. I obsessed about the crescent-shaped shadows that the lunar eclipse created everywhere.

I just like the moon.

This is the Disney-Pixar short from "Brave."


Sometimes I will stop all conversations and point it out to people, saying, "Look at the MOON!"
I will watch, fascinated, as the clouds shift and give the whole spectral a new perspective.

This is a painting of one especially memorable lunar image I saw on Tuesday. I didn't have a camera, so I  committed it to memory and this is the result.

The resolution is crap, but there you go. Do you like the Orange pillow in the background? I thought so.

I remember thinking that it looked like someone had drawn blinds over the surface of the moon.
My family was questioning me every step of the process. There was a collective shudder when I started painting the dark-blue clouds over the moon.

Not everyone is an artist, but everyone is a critic.
