Moon Dance

This painting was inspired by the 1970’s song ‘Moondance’. I wanted to paint a canvas that had movement and was bursting with colour. I chose this song to paint along with as it makes me feel happy. Moondance is played mostly acoustic and was Van Morrison's most successful and definitive jazz composition. The painting is a visually exciting painting that exudes happiness but has also calm sections to rest the eye. This painting was made with structure acrylic paint and coloured washes. It has a textured surface with various finishes, patterns and marks.
It comes ready to hang with the artist’s signature on the front and back and a certificate of authenticity.

artist statement
I like to create uplifting and happy art full of vitality to lift the spirit and make everyone feel comfortable. Interest is added through detailed line work, dots, dashes, hatches and patterns. These details keep the viewer engaged and lead on a journey of discovery in my paintings. For this reason, crisp, hard-edge lines, purposefully placed shapes and carefully constructed colour palettes are hallmarks of my work.
I use my passion for bright colour schemes to express vigour and positive energy. I also create paintings that use soft colours to convey delight and bliss. I find painting is an almost meditative process where I can slow down, relax and reconnect with nature.
