| Long Night's Moon 36"x36" Oil on Canvas |
The
magical light of the December moon, or the Long Night’s Moon, inspired
me to create a painting of the same name. The full Long Night’s Moon appears near the winter solstice, the darkest time of year. This contrast
between light and darkness makes the glow of moonlight especially
poignant.
I was intrigued by the December midwinter moon because the long arc of the moon’s path above the horizon makes it the most visible moon of the year. To capture the feel of the brilliant moonlight reflecting off of the snow-covered city, I built up layers of paint with a palette knife to give the piece depth and luminosity.
