“Night Sky Art Show”

A juried show was held in Winter Harbor, Maine in conjunction with the Acadia Night Sky Festival. I entered three paintings, all of which made the show.

“Moonrise”, a little 4 x 6, was featured in the press release. This painting is a full moon rising above a pond on our land. A clear, but humid night, cast a haze around the moon and left the sky with a purple tint.

“Moon Rings” is a fanciful, imagination piece of a full moon ringed in colors and clouds floating by. It’s a dark, dark sky with moonlight reflected on pine trees below.

“Evening Fog” is again a moon above our pond, but this evening is foggy and the colors are green.  I love the colors in this painting.

Heading straight west from Ft. Wayne, Indiana towards Illinois, I saw a number of big wind farms.

The roads were straight and shimmering in the heat. The telephone poles continued in an unwavering line, almost a fence holding in the cornstalks.

While I didn’t notice any big feed lots, there were cows in some pastures. Labor Day in the Midwest is hot and in the early afternoon, these cows were moving at a crawl–in no rush to leave the shade of the tree.

Of course, there were fields and fields of corn and grains. Some still growing, some being harvested and some where the harvest was completed. As we continue to the end of the journey in Missouri, I pick up rolling hills where the hay is ready for storage.

I enjoyed traveling across the states and maybe someday will be fortunate enough to continue on from Missouri to the West Coast. Thanks for coming along.
