Original artwork description:

This is the view from my studio in the Auvergne mountains, France.

Here I have tried to capture this fleeting moment when the sun sets and the moon rises, almost at the same time.
Having my studio facing the mountains allows me to capture those rare moments.

This landscape is painted “alla prima” in one single sitting, with lively and spontaneous brushstrokes to attempt to capture the momentary effects of moonlight , the movement and the atmosphere.

The white finish of the sides of the canvas allows you to hang it without a frame if you wish.

Materials used:

This painting is painted with professional grade oil colors on a primed canvas. I prepare myself my canvases to create a texture specific to my painting needs and to insure them maximum longevity.
