Under a Pink Moon

Description

Escape Into A Beautiful Moonlit Landscape

Under A Pink Moon perfectly describes this moonscape Naïve painting by artist Kerry Shearer. Drawn form her own experience of walking moonlit countryside lanes, she has captured the sense of balmy summer evenings. Times when the glow of moonlight is bright enough to light the way.

A beautiful image

It evokes for you, the feeling of a cosy cottage bathed in the warm glow of a summer moon. Its relaxed sleepy vibe is an inviting one. Its welcomes you in. Therefore, making it easy for you to imagine wandering around in such a scene; taking a midnight stroll past the house or even being one of its occupants tucked up in bed and kept safe as the moon serves to highlight the natural beauty surrounding you.

Glittering Golds and Plush Pinks

With an inky backdrop of the deepest Indigo, the contrasting pinks and whites pop. Delicate wild flowers drift towards the country cottage nestled within the dry-stone walls. Pinks hold the largest range of colours in this composition, from deepest almost red tones to vivid fluorescents and then on to the palest gentlest of shades. Little accents of gold highlight the tiniest of details and draw the eye around the painting.

As with all Kerry’s paintings there is a deliberate and carefully chosen colour palette. Its limited to provide the most impact for the composition. Kerry always takes time to decide what to leave out of her paintings as well as what to include, as this can have significant impact on the work overall.

As ever Kerry seeks to carry on her work in the tradition of the British Naïve artists which means there is a whimsical and child-like (in the best of ways) quality to her work, included here in this moonscape Naïve painting which is intended to bring melancholic smiles for such longed-for evenings spent in the British Countryside.
