Moonlit


We were in India at the time this picture was taken. Away from the crowds on this beautiful lake, we sat there for a long time just taking in the quiet, the lapping of the waves along the banks, the far off sound of people, and the birds that were nesting close by. It was a wonderful moment in time. Moonlit is painted on arches 140 WC paper with gesso. The blues and greens were painted on and dried. Instead of putting on paint I took it off as the picture progressed. It seems odd but I like the feeling it gave the painting. Watercolor and Gesso
