Rising Moon - West Farmington, Maine

As I was driving home from work near the last full moon, the sun was just setting, making a rosy glow in the whole sky. In the busy West Farmington intersection (well, busy for rural Maine), the red leaves of maples and orange and yellow leaves on other trees were waiting to dance in the moonlight as the old buildings stood by like quiet ancient sentinels. I drank it all in but drove on past, anxious to get home, but again, the whole image beckoned me in my rear-view mirror. I knew there was a painting or two waiting for a canvas so I turned around and pulled over and took numerous photos to work from. Then I couldn't wait to get to my studio and get it done. SOLD
