Moon Warming

My painting from the Moonlight Series, ''Moon Warming'', is me throwing a spin on the coolness of the night sky, the soothing sensation of the air around us, by bringing in some heat, some energy, some zest and blaze. As you may have guessed, I extracted the title ''Moon Warming'' from the concept of housewarming of course. Just like you celebrate a new home and all things associated with it like getting married, kids being born, having friends over, late-night movie nights, mothers forgetting to turn the stove off, fathers reading newspapers by the little window, just tons and tons of memories that are made along with the purchase of a new home. Similarly, with the ''Moon Warming'' painting, I wanted to bring in a new dimension to the coolness of the moon, brighting it up into something closer to daylight when my thoughts are slightly happier as compared to the overthinking that happens late at night (I'm sure many can relate to this). Not only do I want to make the light emitted by the moon more joyful but also just mix it up a bit. That's another one of my hobbies, flipping, wavering and yeah just..bringing in a contemporary dynamic to things.

​I just have a special liking for the night sky, something that reminds me that it's the end of the day, no matter how the day went, it's done, and a new day awaits. Fresh starts, blessed to see another day... the light of the moon is that little spark of hope.
