Winter Moon, 2016, oil on linen, 36 x 46 cm
This painting was inspired by viewing Lake Wendouree at night. The moon wasn't really in that position, but I incorporated it into the picture for the sake of the composition. This painting is mainly make believe since it's almost impossible to paint a picture like this from life as this time of day only lasts a few minutes - too light to be really dark, but too dark to be twilight. It's also a simplification of the scene, since the line of the landform and the position of the lights were not like this in real life
