MOON LAKE



This week's Paint Party Friday submission. 
Another WIP "Moon Night " that I am trying to emulate from an old magazine picture.
I had a terrible time with painting the lake, still not fussy over it.
 I used wood board for my substrate , inks and acrylics and I'm  thinking that maybe I would like to make this into a mixed media art piece incorporating various elements including wax, will see.
So far this makes the #4 work in progress for me : ) 




Oh, and here is a little bit of Opera for you to enjoy. A youtube video by Cristian Faur taken from the film "FARINELLI " The story of celebrated Italian Castrato singer of the 18th century and one of the greatest singers in the history of opera, Carlo Maria Michelangelo Nicola Broschi.
If you would like to see the film (English subtitles), I have seen quite a few on youtube. I'll have to watch it later on my own ; no one here, I'm afraid likes Opera, too bad ( ;

 I listened to this piece this morning while painting "Moon Lake" : ) Really does keep me focused and at ease, especially when the lake was giving me some issues. Enjoy!






Until later,
Annabelle

your painting is very beautiful already-it has a foggy, mystical look to it. Happy PPF!

Oooo... I love it! Reminds me of the Impressionist paintings I've always wanted to get lost in. Beautiful... dreamy... peaceful!

Love that landscape - especially the
band of light shining through. I like my landscapes somewhat abstract. Just beautiful

It looks so peaceful and lovely, a magical full moon night.

Thanks for sharing the video along with your beautiful moonlit scene of a lake. I can see where the music was instrumental in achieving that wonderful look in your painting.

Twilight at Sea


The Twilight Hours like birds flew by,
As lightly and as free;
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
Ten Thousand on the sea;
For every wave with dimpled face,
That leaped upon the air,
Had caught a star in its embrace,
And held it trembling there.
