| BLUE MOON by Kim Morin Weineck original pastel, 6x6" |
Day 3 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge is a nocturne. Night paintings always get me excited. They are a great example of the artist being more than a camera. We tell our viewer so much that the camera cannot.
Blue is my favorite color, so I love the chance to play with blues. The camera can't capture all the subtleties of this painting.
This painting is inspired by this summer's full moons. The field and river in my painting are well-known to artists in my area. Some call this place "Hunter's Field" after the renowned painter Robert Douglas Hunter of the Boston School who oft painted here. I'm lucky to have met him and had a great conversation a few years back when he awarded me an Honorable Mention at the Adams Farm Paint Out event. I was elated to have him recognize my work. He passed away in October of 2014.
If you're local and want to paint here some day, let's connect! It's a great spot in any season.
REALLY stunning!!!
