Moonlit Waters

Acrylic on canvas. 15.5" x 11.5".

I intended this piece to be a sunset scene with striking purples, but as the sky progressed it was looking more like a moonlit night scene. Rather than attempting to lighten the sky, I decided to take this new direction to create a night scene over some water because I liked how the sky had come out. The tree was added as an after-thought when I realised there was something missing to the composition.
