A moonlit landscape with the North star.

A view from the back of my home. I am constantly observing and when it comes to painting some of those observations become part of the process in the painting. The painting today is a recent work, inspired by the landscape, but also my imagination. Such an approach, challenges one to create, without reference, so is a great learning process. Oil on linen panel 6x8 ins.
