I think the trees almost look like Scandinavian folk art... and I like the limited palette...xx
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
I wish I'd seen that moon. My aunt saw it on the other side of town and was really awed by it. Your moon looks like a lovely flower!
Love your folk art style. Happy PPF, Annette x

I agree with Tracey, these do look like a Scandinavian pattern. They remind me of embroidery.
It captures the feeling of a moonlit night so perfectly! Happy PPF!
A minimalist and disturbing painting. Saludo

Cool super moon!
It was beautiful indeed and you captured its simplicity well.
Nice composition!
I heard the moon was going to be larger. I love how you captured it in your painting. Very nice! Happy PPF!
I like your piece. Very cool. We are having a lunar eclipse this Sunday I hear tell. I think that's what it is going to be. Nice work. Have a wonderful weekend.
I like it. It makes me long for winter when summer is only beginning here. Sigh.
Happy PPF!

I so wish I had been able to see that moon. It must have been beautiful. It was too rainy here that night to see anything. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job capturing it!
I tried so hard to take a good photo of the Super Moon, but I wasn't successful. I love your painting though.
Lovely Christine. It must have been great to see the Super Moon. Did the photo turn out ok?
Simply lovely!! I saw it too!! Happy ppf!
