The Moorland Gate and Moonlight



















After doing a few little pieces that tried to look big, what we have here is an 18x24" piece that looks small. After my first snow study piece I decided to mash up the moonlight paintings with snow and ended up including my coastline study pieces as well in the mix.  I'd actually started out painting an alley scene, but that seemed neither very original nor very interesting and too big (or rather the idea was too small for the size of the board), so after that it was a matter of improvising. I ended up going with simplicity and mood.
