Paynes Prairie Moonrise Study © 2011 Karen F. Rose oil on canvas 8x10" available |
About 200 of us waited, hoping for continued good weather so we might not miss this special moment.
This moonrise was the largest in about 20 years and might not happen with this brilliance again in my lifetime. This magnificent moon did not disappoint us. The large crowd gathered and as the moon rose, there were a few oohs and ahhs, not like those for a 4th of July fireworks, but in hushed tones with reverence for this display by mother nature.
This oil painting is a study I will work into a larger painting.
