Violet Moonrise — Original Oil Painting

Violet Moonrise is a violet twilight landscape with silhouetted tree and low moon or sun. The light and color give it a mysterious feeling, with violet, mauve, amber, 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 Violet Moonrise. 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 violet and the surrounding colors to work together naturally, while keeping the scene mysterious 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.
