Farm Pond Moon Rise - Thaw Malin iii

"Farm Pond Moon Rise"



"Farm Pond Moon Rise", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.





I used my compass and the astronomy info from wunderground.com to figure out the correct direction for today's moonrise. I checked with Google Maps satellite view to choose this location. My intuition told me it was a good place, but I just wasn't sure about that stand of cedars on the opposite shore... The moon had it's own plan and did not reveal itself until about 10 minutes after officially rising. At that point it was well above the trees...




If you'd like to purchase, please click Go to my Auction, bidding starts at $100.00 US.
