Tonight the rain stopped for a little while and the full moon peeked out and cast its reflection on my ice covered driveway.
Since I wasn't tired I decided to paint for a while and pulled out this painting with a full moon that I started last year (see post on 20 June 2016).
I thought on this piece I would put a halo around the full moon and using French ultramarine blue I started by circling around the moon and painting outward until the sky had its first layer of blue.
Once the first layer dried I added a second layer around the moon, left a thin ring around the moon and continued until all the rest of the sky was painted.
I added two more layers of paint to the outside of the halo around the moon allowing the paint to dry completely between layers.
I will post this painting again once the trees have been completed.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork. I hope you will return often.
