A Snowy Lunar Eclipse

SOLD

Last Wednesday we had a light dusting of snow here in Maryland. Later that night the sky began to clear... my husband came in after taking the recyclables out and said, "You should take a look at the moon, it looks very unusual." Neither of us had any idea that there was a lunar eclipse taking place (we rarely listen to the weather channel), but when I went out on our frozen deck to take a peek, I knew it had to be an eclipse. The full moon was quite dark, with a deep rosy glow and stars winking around it. With the ice glinting on the trees behind our house, it was magical.

In my painting I put in a little bit more snow for a deep winter effect.
