Moonrise

Moonrise by Scott Ruthven
8"x10" Oil on canvas board

Here's a plein air painting I did in the last 30 minutes of daylight.  It was only 9 degrees F but the light was so subtle and beautiful that I had to capture it.  The paint was so stiff I literally had to plow my size 10 flat in to paint and plaster it on.  This view is looking across a frozen lake at the moonrise.  Of course the photo wasn't able to depict the subtle color shifts.

Thanks for looking!

  2. What a serene painting. Looking forward to following your blog.Found you on Leslie Saeta's 30 days....doing the same but my paintings usually take a few days to complete so I am challenging myself.
