“Full moon at Holt lane”
I usually commute long distances to work, every day. Recently I commuted a lot to Weymouth, which trip takes me on Holt lane towards Wimborne Minster.
Beautiful views during long summer days, dark and lonely during winter. If you get lucky and have clear sky the views can look glorious.
Towards the end of last week, I was returning home after a long day at work. As I left Weymouth, the sky looked great, featuring a large, wonderful, almost surrealistic, orange full moon. I was excited , but it was impossible to stop for a photo, because of traffic and lack of lay-bys onthe side of the road; no hard shoulder either.
Anyway, I was driving home, hoping that the moon and sky will still look nice by the time I get there. After Wimborne, I was on the lonely lanes around Holt village and I spotted a beautiful view of the full moon between some trees and few house shapes .
I stopped the car and took a few photos.
So here it is my very first painting depicting a night landscape.
