In the Lee of the Moon

Mixed media on canvas. 61cm x 91.4cm.This is a freeing experience for anyone who lives a busy life. My many road trips to the beach on summer night's when I lived in New England, watching the moon rise over the watery horizon, as it cast a mystical glow upon the water and the beachhead. All these memories bring back the sense of the sea air, the sound of the waves breaking on the shore and the wish that one could stay there forever. The blending of oil colors with cold wax give this painting a rich sensual and textural feeling. The moon as a feminine element is very dominate in the landscape.
