Night of the Swirly Moon — Original Oil Painting

Night of the Swirly Moon is a moon over water beneath swirling blue-violet sky. The light and color give it a poetic feeling, with blue, violet, silver, charcoal carrying much of the mood. It can bring atmosphere into a room without making the space feel busy. The smaller shifts in light, color, and distance give the image more to discover over time.

Original oil painting: This is the one original painting of Night of the Swirly Moon. It measures 8×10 in and is currently available for $1,200.

From Nathan: What interested me most in this painting was the light. I wanted blue and the surrounding colors to work together naturally, while keeping the scene poetic and full of atmosphere. I like leaving enough room in a painting for the viewer to bring some of their own memories and feelings to it.
