A quirky little number about Eclipses. Working on round paintings is an interesting challenge. We are so used to square and rectangles, but actually, round paintings are very flexible and can fit in most spaces.

When I began the painting, I had just witnessed an eclipse of the moon. There is a moment when the shadow lies perfectly across it's surface, creating a crescent. Something about seeing eclipses activates my fascination with the way we might see things - and by that I mean our world views, values, realities etc, not just physical things.

This is an intuitively created painting keeping just three colours in play to contain the contents. The shapes are shadowy and evocative of all sorts of phenomena . The more you look, the more you will see.
