Moonlight glinting off an evening surf emanates a sense of mystery and peace.

The coast itself is a place of serenity and peace, the gentle sound of the surf hitting the sand, the starlight glinting in reflection off of the water.

By Moonlight, the artwork, invites the viewer to step onto the beach on a calm, moonlit night. The clouds on the horizon bespeak a change of weather that will come in during the night, but for now, the sky overhead is clear, and the glint of the moon’s silver light is just hinted at, at the top of the painting.

This beach could be anywhere, but the particular venue from which By Moonlight is taken is on the beaches of Lincoln City, on the central coast of Oregon in the United States. Here, there are seven miles of beach upon which to walk, and an intrepid walker who is willing to take off their shoes and wade through the many rivers and rivulets that run across the sand, can spend an entire afternoon, or evening, walking from one...

I am a fine art painter who creates representational images celebrating light, life, and color. A commercial illustrator for more than 20 years, I have been painting for most of my life, and in the last 18 years have focused exclusively on fine art. I celebrate images that invite the viewer to step into the artwork and experience a sense of joy, peace, freedom, encouragement, meditation, and thought. There's a lot of angry art out there, as well as a lot of shallow pop. I choose to use the abilities and experience I have to promote beauty and goodness.
