ONCE IN A BLUE MOON

Or 

THE FOX JUMPED OVER THE MOON

8" X 8"

OIL

 Ever since the solar eclipse & experiencing TOTALITY on

8.21.17 

I can't get the stars, the feeling of totality, the experience out of my head.

I've had the Once in a Blue Moon theme in my head for months.

I've wanted to produce some paintings which portray pure joy and wonder

with the stars in mind along with a bit of quiet reflection.

Here's an odd twist to this journey that occurred recently.

I wanted a total escape, a humorous look at the world

what better way to achieve that feeling?

Guardian's of the Galaxy II

I love that movie for me it's a classic. 

In the old days we used to ski with a 

Sony Walkman around our waist with our favorite cassette tape

blasting tunes into our headset. How's that for a flash from the past?

 Guardian's of the Galaxy II is full of aha! moments - great music

a fun ride through time. If you've never seen it give it a go.

Anyway, the next morning I painted "ONCE IN A BLUE MOON".

I was smiling the entire time - painting that morning was joyful

from start to finish. 

Little did I know that January 2018 would bring us so many

celestial gifts. From the Super Moon or Wolf Moon on January 1st

to the big bang -  to the first Super Blue Blood Moon of 152 years on January 31st. 

Not only that but there's also a TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE happening as well.

 

Don't miss out - if it's not happening in your area there's quite a bit of excitement 

on the internet - I'm sure you can find it and experience it as it happens.

Have a great Blue Moon
