“Clouds in Moonlight“ was sketched in just under 26 minutes including signing. With the original photograph taken by me on 24th December 2023 at 1951hrs.

Here is my photograph providing the inspiration for my sketch:

I had just finished a jog around my local lake having returned to my garden to sit on a wooden bench to enjoy the cool night air of winter. To the south the moon shone brightly as we see here. 

Three branch strands from the garden cherry blossom tree found their way into my composition by personal choosing. The clouds appeared calming and wistful.

“Moon you art beautiful,

Humble you art to the Sun taking your day,

You love the Earth so greatly,

You never want to leave,

Choosing to circle tirelessly,

Ebb and flow of tides,

Feeding the crawling shell, salty fish and birds,

Bringing delight to new children,

Guiding our friend turtle into blissful longevity,

Clouds art blankets silken,

Many a fiery boulder you have quenched,

Turning with grace,

Charm is your iron aura.

Wisdom is your strength.”

[Moon Art by Matt The Unfathomable Artist]
