Moondance

A watercolour painting on Arches watercolour paper, dimensions 8×11” of a moonlit night.

Moondance

See the moon shining bright
Shadows dancing in the light.
It’s face glowing lighting the way
To the old castle across the bay.
Haunting sounds fill the air
Come, rest a while, if you dare!

What gorgeous, intense color, very beautiful work Linda.
Linda Callaghan replied

thank you so very much Jim…I have bought a watercolour wheel called Brilliant Watercolours and they certainly are! really enjoy using them but have no idea what the colours are called as it does not say? thanks again….
MyheART

I’m glad you did since I missed that beautiful painting…I was wondering a bit about the title since it did look like a sunrise….however that is the beauty of art as it takes you to another world…and who is to say the moon is white and the sun is yellow…could be the other way around(smile):)....
Linda Callaghan replied

yes I thought you might be but as you say in art anything goes! thanks again Robin :-D
