Moonlight bay

Moonlight Bay is an Acrylic painting 24 inch X 24 inch on a cotton canvas. In this piece it feels incredibly quiet, like stumbling upon a hidden sanctuary in the middle of the night; where the rest of the world completely drops away.

The background is a velvety, absolute black, which allows the cool, monochromatic blues and deep greens of the dense shoreline foliage to feel vibrant and alive, even in the dead of night. The texture on those overhanging trees is remarkable they catch the moonlight just enough to give the piece a beautiful, tactile dimension.

But the true magic of this painting is the water. The silvery reflection that snakes through the center of the bay, cutting through the shadows. It acts as a visual pathway, guiding your eyes deep into the curve of the shoreline.

It is an incredibly meditative painting; changing the entire vibe of a room. It encourages you just take a breath and imagine the quiet of the bay bathed in moonlight.
