Artwork Description

I have begun to paint a series of moon studies. The light of the moon on the Australian landscape always captures my imagination. The gibbous moon occurs when the illuminated part is greater than a semi-circle but less than a full moon. I love the beachscapes of the South of Western Australia. I am in awe of the phases of the moon shining on the capes and bays.
