Moon Dance (2025) Original Oil Painting by Ta Byrne

I was recently honoured with a visit to my studio by the Sultan of Malaysia and his entourage. I was delighted he bought two of my paintings and asked me to sign a copy of my book, Egg Island.

After the visit, I was left with a range of emotions that I have attempted to convey in this painting. I am the piano player and not only conducting the music but also this painting.

The painting had to be in a luxurious setting, and even the Moon is excited and came down to dance. Even though the Sultana was not on the visit, I wanted her in the painting because I hoped that when she saw my paintings hanging on her walls, she would love them.
