Last of the moon paintings (for a little while)

Winter Night 18x24 oil

The top picture shows a page from a sketckbook showing my observations on how the moon illuminates a snow covered landscape. I was interested in learning about how moonlight affects objects at night and the kind of shadows that are created. The bathroom window gives me a perfect observation post. The painting was invented out of my mind, but I used the information from what I observed that night as the value plan for the painting.

I hope you enjoyed the series of paintings on the moon. The next full moon will be April 9, I'll be looking.
