Moonlight

18" x 24" Acrylic on Canvas

Someone once said to me, "I reveal all I want to reveal through my art". I kinda know the feeling. Yet, for an artist to "get through", it is more like, "show yourself, reveal who you are". For artists can be hard to understand. When I painted this painting, it was after walking outside and seeing the moon behind the trees. So simple. Nothing magical, nothing mystical. It was only what I saw. Yet, the "magical", the "mystic", was right there. During, before, and after. Hard to explain. Yet, it exist. This evening my daughter said to me, "this is the tatoo" I want". It was "Mario". "The mushroom". she said, "my childhood memories were of playing the game "mario". "Fate without eyes sees". "trusting to let go"....

I had been trying recently to let my daughter see...you cannot control, whatever will be will be. My painting.. is just that, only a painting. Full of love. As love exists in places where you never knew.
