"Lake Moon Horizon"
Lake Moon Horizon, 15"x8" Ink on Cedar Wood, Handmade Stained Wooden Frame & Backing
Seeing the moon over the lake can give a feeling that is peaceful for the soul. The calming energy of the moonlight is the perfect end to a long sunny day.
For this artwork, I was inspired to use this cedar wood that I cut from the backyard of my childhood home. Instead of using for firewood, I decided I wanted to preserve it and make it a lasting memory. I used the striations in the wood to guide my creation. Many of the lines that you see were already created in the wood as my guide and with a little artistic touch, the Lake Moon Horizon was created. The natural color changes resulted from the cedar itself as I only used black ink. The backing and frame was sanded and stained in order to make the artwork itself pop beautifully from the background.
