By The Light

. . . and this!

Mysterious and peaceful at the same time. Now that's a hard combination to paint! So very beautiful!

Very, very nice. Love your acrylic work and subject choices.

Thank you so much, Bonnie and Theresa. :>

....of the silvery moon.... Lovely and serene. fave ;-)

This is moody in a happy way, if that makes sense. I like it a lot, JudiLynn!

Love your composition and colours

One of the best moon paintings I've ever seen! Love it! Will add to my favorites :)

I love paintings with moon on it. This one has brilliant moon-mood :)

Thanks for the reference Chuck. The painting is beautifully serene, indeed. Wonderful detail.

Very "moon-lighty". You've pretty well captured the whole moonlight thing. Another artist who did very well with that is a little-known French artist who lived at the turn of the 19th-20th century named Pierre Puvis de Chevannes, who came up with a very elegant print (in 1898) of "St. Genevievre Watches over the Sleeping Village". The original title is in French. (I inhereted an original copy.) It shows St. Genevievre illuminated by moon-light and oil-lamp light from an open door watching over a tile-roofed town. The image is surrounded by a border of oak-leaves. It is gorgeous. You might want to look it up on-line. Chuck
