Original artwork description:

Acrylic on Paper, 24 x 35.2cm, 2011
This is one of four quite abstract and expressive Acrylic Paintings done “en plein air” whilst watching a traditional dance and music performance at the famous Water Palace in Ubud, Bali. Ubud is a magical and mystical place full of traditional artists and surrounded by sacred rivers, forests and rice fields. My wife and I chose this particular hotel and room as it is next to the Palace and you can watch the performances from your balcony, a very special experience! The night we stayed was a typically hot and steamy tropical evening with a beautifully bright moon lighting up the scene as the heavy rain clouds floated by.
As the traditional performance lasted around 1-2 hours I had to paint very quickly to capture the scenes quite expressively.
As we enjoyed the atmospheric performance the moon would appear from behind the clouds illuminating the whole scene with a sultry light.
In this painting I wanted to try to capture the beautiful moonlit sky and illuminated clouds over the Palace.

This refund will be done after the picture has arrived safely and has been accepted.
