Original artwork description:

Nocturnal landscape inspired by works of the early XXcentury tonalists - a current in art I find myself often returning to recently; specifically because - like in the case of the impressionists few decades later - all the attention there has been placed on rendering the light itself - as it appears in given moment. I find this to be the most sincere and most rewarding approach to painting landscape. After all we don't really see objects - all we see is light reflecting of their surfaces! And every moment is different than the other, every glance is new
...yet timeless, as this is the sensation that one feels looking at the moon at night, the feeling of being unbound and elevated. This is how I felt looking at that moon rising above the hill and this is what I wanted to evoke in this painting.
It is a fascinating challenge - rendering in paint how our eyes see the world at night - when details of objects blend into one another and we can't tell the exact colors of them, they form sort of masses that fade in and out of our eyes' focus. I'm satisfied I managed to render some of this in the work.

Oil on gallery-wrapped canvas, signed on the front and on the back,
the sides of the work are painted so framing is an option but not necessary, comes ready to hang.

Materials used:

oil on stretched canvas
