I’ve looked skyward many a night – especially in the rural area where we live – and witnessed this lovely halo around the moon. One night that vision just sort of got lodged in my mind and I’ve been ruminating on it ever since.

I started this painting in the middle of October 2019 with only a few sketches so as to give myself a lot of room for spontaneity. I wanted to explore that light in the darkness (and there’s been no shortage of darkness) – and that moon –  looking upwards in awe – at that great dance it’s a part of.
