My newest painting from memory of a moon eclipse


This is the eclipse in the telescope - photo I took on 3.3.2007 in my garden. Unfortunately the viewing in telescope is black and white only.
I could do it, because foxes did not invade our garden yet. Now I am reluctant to go there at night.







This is a drawing I did after watching the eclipse 0n 3 March 2007. The moon was the colour of copper or raw sienna. I sort of drawn the gravity well around it. I have seen it in my mind? This is done in crayons in my diary - very small.










Then in July 2011 I painted it in oil on canvas, following the advise of my friend Chris Kofler.
This painting is bigger - 10x12 inches.
