Waiting for Nightfall


 12"x16"

honestly, I've been terribly sad and uncertain lately. and then yesterday when I startled this beautiful luna moth from his hiding place and he was just so heartbreakingly fragile and helpless and glowing there in the leaf litter, no camouflage or protection at all and so perfect, obviously just out of the shelter of the cocoon....
I had to try and paint him as terribly fragile and helpless and glowing.
and even bigger than life, since part of that terrible vulnerability was the sheer size and brightness, this canvas is 12"x16" and the luna moth takes up pretty much the whole thing, just a fringe of leaves around it.

A very springtime little moment, one of those beautiful ephemerals that blooms almost the moment they are out of the ground, the petals peeking out from the tight wrapping of the leaves.

Springtime is so absolutely magical. So much potential everywhere, so much bursting life. And in this case, so many wonderfully, comically oversized bursting-with-promise peony buds.

Reworking is always a good thing. Especially when you've been out of ultramarine for a while and you just got a shiny new tube in!
