silent pines
Back to "landscapes" Album
Silent Pines is a 3 by 4 inch oil painting that captures a moment when a large, textured full moon rises—or sets—behind a stand of tall pine trees. The sky’s deep red tone creates a strong contrast with the bright moon, while dynamic blue and white brushstrokes suggest rippling water reflecting the moonlight in the foreground. This piece explores bold color contrasts and expressive brushwork to build a quiet, contemplative atmosphere drawn from the intensity of super moons. The small scale invites close observation, encouraging a pause to consider nature’s subtle rhythms and unexpected details.
