Nocturnal Painting, Ocean Painting with Full Moon

Ocean Moon, 24x24, acrylic on canvas

This is the 5th painting in my new skyscape series, 'Ocean Moon', painted purely on impulse with only the thought that I wanted to paint with shades of purple and that it was a skyscape.

I had no idea it was even going to be a water painting. Sometimes I find it more rewarding to surprise myself.  Feeling the pull of a colour, or group of colours, is how I came to paint in the first place, so I trust that instinct.

This painting journey took me far out into the middle of the ocean, into the velvety darkness where the intensity of these rich colours felt very deep and healing.  And in the midst of it all, a moment of clarity, as indicated by the moon.
