Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away

But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
from “Harvest Moon” - Neil Young

Harvest Moon

​Light in the forest teases and taunts.  Sun-breaks in the clouds illuminate  moss-covered trees by day, creating temporary pathways of dazzling green.  Moonlight plays tricks on leafy branches and trunks by night.  The bigger the moon, the broader the mischief.  It is a bit of a dance in the forest.  My eyes should be on the ground, seeking firm footing, watching for slippery spots and loose rocks.  But the light!  THE LIGHT!  I can't look away.  Whoops! :)

About the art:  another piece in the new series, "A View from the Gorge".  This piece painted on plywood.  Using many layers of liquid acrylics and a spray bottle to form the underpainting.  Painter's tape to mask the underpainting into tree shapes.  Several layers of glaze to create the background.
