Full Moon

Comments

Nice one, and kudos for being out in the cold -- as an amateur astronomer I know the feeling, but I can't imagine painting at night. Is that Mars to the upper left?

It's great Rachel - inspiring stuff. I hope you are well wrapped up though! Having said that, winter skies are just fabulous so its all worth it!

Well I love this subject Rachel, a tricky one to capture… well done!

Wow, 10 out of 10 for braving the elements but it was definitely worth it.

Thank you each for such lovely comments again- Martin- Thank you for that compliment but I’m not quite sure what that is to the upper left- Unfortunately I wouldn’t know Mars if I saw it…but I shall look it up later on Google- Thank you Sarah- I was certainly wrapped up- and yes it’s definitely worth it! Thank you Alan- a lovely compliment indeed- And Heather - thank you so much for that- Well that’s lovely Fiona! 😂😂😂 and thank you so much for the thoughts and compliment! I have been called worse!

Beautiful!

Don't apologise!! This is fascinating, our sky in Gozo has many mauves and reds at night. Lovely work!

Thank you so much Spencer another lovely compliment- And thank you Thalia for that- It’d be interesting to paint the night sky all year round to see how / if colours change from winter to summer etc- It must be beautiful in Gozo.

To follow up my previous night painting- I had a go at the full moon in the very early hours this am- It was bitterly cold but worth it as the sky at night is so fascinating- so many colours and changing frequently too- I was amazed at the amount of greens in the sky although I’ve not really captured them to their fullest here. I don’t like to bombard you all with too many paintings all at once but was so excited to be out again in the odd hours!- Apologies!
