Autumn Crescent Puzzle Moon

One steamy indian summer night when he thought nobody was looking, the Autumn Crescent took a refreshing dip in a rippling brook.  I saw him from the nursery window, as I rocked my feverish child and wished we could join him. 


I posted the companion piece to this one back in August, and forgot to follow up with this one.  Here it is now—strangely out of order, but included, now.

Thank you for stopping by today.

It was a hike to the outhouse on the edge of the property, but in the summer when we used it, the stroll was worth the effort. 

This was a quick study.  A warm up. An exercise in looseness, bold strokes and interpretation.  I struggled to take it past a non-committal stage with regard to value.  I darkened the leaves in the foreground and the tree trunks, too.  I don't know if it's a success or not, but the two-seater is kind of cute.
