"Yellow Moon"
12"x16" Oil on CanvasJust finished this one up. I wanted that background very pale and boy did I get it, hahaha. This painting was done more to see how this scene would look should I choose to go larger. I had the idea for a very late afternoon scene with the moon rising. I tried to keep the moon very pale so there isn't much contrast with the sky as you can see. The painting is still sitting on my easel and the moon works better here. The photo seems to reduce what contrast there is. I tried to add contrast but then the trees start getting pretty dark...more than what's in the painting so I opted for not messing with the contrast.
Overall, I like the results and will more than likely go larger with this one soon. I'll probably add a bit more dark to my sky to increase that contrast with the moon but as it is I'm pretty happy.

Hi Ryan,
The painting works pretty well and I'm pretty happy with it. I see minor changes I'd make in a larger version but overall I like the results.
Thanks for checking it out and the comments too Ryan. Good to hear from you.
