Oils on canvas
18 x 18"
2007

Most have been out on a night when there's a full moon.
Ever notice the dark, muted way it looks like daylight? Trees cast their shadows. The earth seems lit by some crazy artist's brush. It's simply an amazing, eerie phenomenon.

This painting took me three years to realize that in the dark-bright night of a full moon, the trees' leaves even show highlights of their day-time color, thanks to Mr. Moonlight's magic.

This is what brought the painting to life. And the world keeps on. In the morning's light the world with its acorns and the Oak tree will have been working and growing as we slept.

Very nice Robert. Nice thinking behind the image. I remember reading while walking home from work at 16. I was a bus boy at the local tavern and got out at 1am or so. $35-$40 a night was a step up from the paper route. Gordon
