Midday moonlight

In this painting I captured a luminous moon resting in the heart of a vivid blue sky, a rare vision of day touched by night. Surrounding it, branches and leaves burst with  reds, oranges, and golds, their movement alive against the stillness above. The painting captures the quiet mystery of seeing the moon at midday, where calm eternity meets the fleeting beauty of nature’s changing season.

Midday moonlight and Midnight Moonlight complement each other. They both explore the moon’s quiet presence in both day and night. One reveals its glow in a bright blue sky framed by vivid leaves, the other through dark branches in the stillness of midnight. Together, they reflect the balance of light and shadow, movement and calm.

Broken by design, whole by essence.
