The Moon is My Savior

First of all, THANK YOU to everyone who came out to see me at CWOS this year! I'm really glad I did it and am happy with how things turned out.  It provided some good feedback, more opportunities and plenty of inspiration. In fact, I was so inspired, the next day I went to the Leitner Observatory with some friends...

It was open for a special White House event… whatever that was, we unfortunately never figured out.  We watched the planetarium show, (pretty cool) and left after it ended. (We were told that the live feed from the WH was starting.)  By the time we found a group of 4 chairs available and sat down, Obama had left the stage and everyone else around us got up out of their chairs and left the room lol.  I still don’t know what the President talked about and why this was a special day. Ignorance is bliss, they say. However, I did get to look through a telescope for the first time!!

It was cloudy of course, but among those clouds were some small patches of the night sky and the MOON! It was glorious with its large swaths of smooth patches next to fields of craters all packed on top of each other.  It was a bright, luxurious texture I’d never seen or felt before. I really wanted to reach out and run my hands across it.

So today is Halloween and here is a quick themed painting for all you fans of full moons...NOTE:  I just painted a pretty bad werewolf. Maybe it's just cute, I haven't decided yet. Let me know in the comments below. It didn't turn out how I wanted it but sometimes you just have to move on!

I'm also attaching an old scratchboard drawing I did in college about 4 years ago. I figure this will redeem me if you don't like the werewolf, haha!
