Painting of the Month- September 2021

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Excerpt from 'Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening' by Robert Frost, 1923

September's painting of the month is "Just Us and the Moon" measuring 24 x 6 in. This painting is part of my Moon Watchers series.

Have you ever spent a moment with your significant other under the light of the moon and the stars? It can be magical. Just you, and them and the vast sky above. It's these moments of silence that we often gravitate to in our hectic lives, where the simplicity of the night sky is a welcomed diversion.

The two birch trees in this piece symbolize two persons standing angled towards one another under the light of the moon. A quiet meeting of two minds and two hearts connecting.

Enjoy the end of summer night skies with someone special in your life before the leaves fall and Winter lays down its blanket of snow.
