Moonlight Island Acrylic Print

There is such beauty cast by the moon over the ocean at the shore. It's such a bonus when the sky has clouds so that it adds to the drama of the scene. There's the 'golden hour' and then there's the 'blue hour' or twilight when the sky is this beautiful shade of sapphire. Although this sky was later than that, it still held the hue due to the bright, full moon and its reflection on the water.

This felt like a full moon that lit up the entire Caribbean illuminating this tiny island retreat in Jamaica where I spent an amazing week. I spent precious little time sleeping so that I wouldn't miss the pale glow of light before the sun arose straight through to the sinking of the full moon into the horizon and beyond.

My memories begin as a five-year-old-free-spirit discovering and creating anything 'beautiful.' I was bold, creative, curious, and loved adventure. It stands to reason that when I spray painted the neighbor's black hearse a sparkling shade of silver that I was destined to be an artist. Now that I'm in my 7th decade, my free spirit has settled down a bit (the hearse owner would be glad). Still, curiosity, creativity, and an eye for beauty define me. Lots of things inspire me in my art. I love traveling, and have been afforded the opportunity to see wonderful places all over the world. I then share our travel destinations with others so they can experience the beauty out there too. Another passion of mine is ornamental gardening. Flowers...
