This is a work in progress in my current series, “Squared”. Constructed of squares of color that reflect the changing light of the night and pre-dawn sky, the branches of the moonlit trees frame our point of view, our reference to the universe, from the Earth.
This painting is based upon some pre-dawn pastel sketches I did of the night sky, which is so beautiful as the lavenders and deep cobalt blues, punctuated by the white stars, creates silhouettes of the branches of the trees.
