I stepped outside shortly after it got dark tonight. There, above me, just barely peeking through a gap in heavy cloud cover was the moon. It looked full, though I know technically it isn’t. It wouldn’t be so high in the sky at about 6:30 p.m. if it was full. Who cares! I pause and enjoy the moon whether it is a sliver, a peek, or full blown glorious. All too often at this time of year I get no chance to see it because of the cloud cover.
This one inspired me to grab a sheet of watercolor paper and capture it. I wasn’t getting the blacks as black as I wanted ... so I added a ink to the darkest clouds.
This is lovely!! I have always wanted to do a nice watercolour of the moon. Very inspiring.

ReplyDeleteOutstanding, Elva! Love when clouds create lots of drama around the moon.
ReplyDeleteLovely moon sketch with soft clouds floating around it. Gives it a great mood setting.
ReplyDeletelovely, deep and alive as the moon itself. I'm a moon-lover too. Always stop and look up in my smoggy roman sky and compliment her for shining through all that.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful Elva. Photos just don't show it off like this does.

ReplyDeleteAs a "Lunatic" .. I can not stay "haunted by your Moon"!
