Luna Zinnia



November and it is almost over............
Into my painting.......into the moon when it was full this month
The face is very hard to capture.........but every time I paint it I feel I am getting closer. There is a sadness to it and I couldn't quite get that, but I will........There is an immense depth and distance to it........ very aloof, and I really couldn't get that at all......and I don't know if I ever will. I felt very alive, and excited and didn't make it to bed until very early in the morning the three nights I worked on it, My dog stays up with me and she senses my excitement I had to keep going outside to look at it and to connect with it..... and then back to the canvas. finally on the third night I knew it was gone for another month and I knew there was no more to this painting. This one like the face in the moon was finished.........
