Rising Above the Crest

"Rising Above the Crest"
5" x 5"
Oil on hardboard
The moon rose above the crest of a little hill. Dotted it like an "i."  It was one of those peaceful evenings when the comings and goings of the stellar orbs was about I wanted to watch.  

My sky paintings are getting smaller.  No reason for it, I just enjoy the five inch panels, too.

Harvest Moon

"Harvest Moon"

She had spun her way across the night sky and was wending her way toward the voluminous bosom of the west when I broke into song. 

"Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say.
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.

But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light.
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again.
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar.
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.

But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high.
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again.
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon."
--Neil Young

Blue Moon

"Blue Moon"
6" x 6"
Oil on hardboard
A blue moon is the appearance of the third full moon in a season that has four full moons, instead of the usual three. It is never blue, though. The term "blue moon" is used to mean a very rare event, as in the phrase, "once in a blue moon," because it occurs only once every two to three years.  

She was a white spot on a lacy, dark sky.

Colorado Moon #2

"Colorado Moon #2"
4" x 16"
Watercolor on Arches
The moon shone over the foothills of the Rockies that morning with little regard for the sun. Miss Moon hung provocatively over promontories and points, then sauntered off stage to her... west.  


The two Colorado Moon paintings were commissioned.

Make sure you enter my contest to win one of three 12" x 12" rose paintings. "Burgeoning" sold at auction tonight, sorry.  I hope that doesn't deter you.  See July 8ths post for details.
