The Moon (Sunrise)
(Painting #45)

6" x 6"
oil on canvas panel
$ 175

This morning I saw the moon hang low in the southwestern corner of the sky, chased by the sun to the ocean's horizon. It's always a surprise to see the moon during the day, but the mornings are especially nice because the sky is so shockingly blue and the moon resembles a stone emerging from the depths.

I was up early this morning and I watched an amazing sunrise smear across the sky. It brought to mind the pure joy of childhood and my early use of color and paints. I knew right away that today's painting would reflect those feelings and maybe revisit those memories, if only for a moment.

For Good Measure

We guys like to measure, cut, build, and quantify. By doing so, in our eyes, we've won the small battles. We temporarily cheat death by leaving small legacies in the things we create in the hope that someone, sometime later will look upon it and say, "He did a pretty good job."
