Moon Rise with Poplars, 2008-2009
oil on canvas 18 x 24 inches
I got the idea for this painting of the moon while sitting up on the roof of my parents garden shed. I used to sit up there a lot on summer evenings to watch the sun set or watch the moon. I got better radio reception up on the roof and sometimes I would go up there just to listen to the Bend radio stations. On summer break in high school I would be up there for hours hanging out with my radio and headphones.
