DIAMONDS IN THE CORNFIELD ~ I just finished this painting the other day (finally!) and it's 8 x 10 inches in acrylics on stretched canvas. I originally had it titled with the word jewels but I like diamonds better. Lots of times when driving to work before daylight I enjoy seeing the moon and how it seems to glow up there. When you really look at it, it seems to be under layers of diffused light and colors and it's not all white. I guess the craters and atmospheric conditions create the shadows you see on it. One of these days I'll get it down perfectly I hope!
I am always inspired by Jafabrit's spuggy birds http://jafabrit.blogspot.com/ and put some on top of the cornstalks to look at the moon!
Yeaaa Cynthia http://cmguajardo.blogspot.com/ I am so thrilled by the 12 little canvases that I bought from you on E-bay, thanks so much for offering them and I already have one painting started on one of them!

Awwww you're so welcome Babs and I'm so glad you started a blog!! Nature inspires me so much in my art, probably more than anything else.

This is so beautiful...such shades of blue and a romantic moon for effect. The birds make such a difference..they really make it.

Beautiful painting Lynette, and you described the mood perfectly. Back when I was flying and had to get to the airport at all hours of the night and day, I loved driving when no one else was on the road. It was so peaceful and I felt very comforted for some reason before the energy of the day started.

I have been trying to think what this piece reminds me of. A fall evening for sure, maybe October. Kind of Nightmare Before Christmas-y -- but I think you had some others that had that feel.
