100 PAINTINGS IN 100 DAYS #59

"Midnight Moon"
6"x8", Acrylic
sold
This is another piece with molding paste mostly in the foreground.  I used the sgraffito technique again.  I use a a palette knife to scratch into the surface and create all the lines for the willows.  
"O wild and wondrous midnight,
There is a might in thee
To make the charmed body
Almost like spirit be,
And give it some faint glimpses
Of immortality."
~James Russell Lowell, Midnight
