New Mexico Moonrise
A breathtaking encapsulation of the vast night sky in Northern New Mexico. The high elevation and clean air provides unparalleled views of a colossal harvest moon rising majestically above the horizon. The lunar visitation hovers so close to the earth, it almost lifts us upward with its gravitational pull. Its soft glow casts a gentle silver light over the sage and juniper landscape, infusing the scene with a sense of enchantment. The precise depiction of the moon is juxtaposed against a more painterly, textural foreground–notice the thick oil strokes in the bottom half of the canvas, where the artist defined her earth contrasting with the airier style of the galactic sky. The cool winds carry the faint rustle of the desert creatures on the move: feel the subtle power of midnight energy.
