Sure On This Shining Night


20"x24" 
Oil on Canvas


Sure on this shining night
Of starmade shadows round,
Kindness must watch for me
This side the ground.
The late year lies down the north. 
All is healed, all is health.
High summer holds the earth.
Hearts all whole.
Sure on this shining night 
I weep for wonder 
Wandering far alone
Of shadows on the stars.

– James Agee


Choral Arrangement by by Morten Lauridsen

Moon Over Radnor Lake

8"x10" Oil on Panel
with Palette Knife
SOLD


I had a great experience painting with the Chestnut Group the other evening. We gathered at Radnor Lake and painted the full moon rising over the lake. This was my first attempt to paint at night. It was so much fun! As I was painting, I discovered another artist sharing my easel to create his own work of art. Sadly, I had to interrupt his work and gently escort him to another spot when it came time fro me to pack up. You never know what's going to happen when you paint en plein air.
