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.
Huh, when I click on the image, instead of giving me a close-up to scroll around and explore, as is usually the case, this time I end up at getthegallery.com—definitely fun to poke around there! but I still have a hankering to step more deeply into the trees cape …
I'll email you the image to enjoy close-up....unless I post it in my inventory, it won't allow the exploration. Darn technology!!!
