Continuing with my series of moonlight paintings, this one is a view of the lights of Melbourne coming down the Pentland Hills, about 50 Kilometres outside of Ballarat. It's also a variation on this view, the other similar work is titled City Lights and the Moon, 2016. Again these works are a combination of memory and invention, because this observational point can only be seen going down the hill in a car. Every time I travel this road at night, I take particular notice of the night lights so that my memory becomes my sketchbook.
