Asking for the Moon Oil

The barren tree against the expansiveness of the shifting sky and the subtle presence of the moon evoke a sense of longing and perseverance. I chose a minimalist approach to emphasize the raw, emotional essence, using oils to blend realism with a touch of the abstract. This artwork is meant to stir contemplation, to bring a quiet, powerful energy to any space. The title of the painting is 'Asking for the Moon", hinting at the human tendency to wish for what cannot be had- maybe the tree wants something it can't have too.
