Creative Tuesdays - September

Creative Tuesdays' current theme is 'September'. I decided to do something with the harvest moon which will occur on September 22, 2013 this year.  It's done in acrylic (6" x 6") on cardstock.

Thanks to MMm for hosting!






I was inspired by this beautiful old painting I saw on one of Adam's posts at Neko Random.

Hello Christine
We'll be with family in Nova Scotia so will definitely look out for that one - mind you some how I think it will shine on family down here at home - just at a different time of the day to you lol

Forgot to say how big and round and warm and glowing your one is!

Simple colours but still appealing.
Amsterdam?

It's actually Albany New York in the 1800s when it was settled by the Dutch apparently.

I love your September-Harvest-Moon picture! The colors are wonderful and I like it so much how you have translated the lovely inspiration picture into your individual version.

Love your interpretation! Such a beautiful harvest moon as well, which is something I had forgotten about.

That is gorgeous, Christine. I totally love it. And in fact more than the original. Love how you've broken it down further into simple flat shapes. What a good interpretation for SEPT too. I love harvest moons.

Beautiful big orange moon. I too like the church in the background. It just completes the picture.
