Moonlight captured (2016) Original Watercolour by Phyllis Mahon

Clothed in little but dappled moonlight, this woman is reaching to a full moon in a serene landscape. Her right hand is raised whilst her left hand scatters the pearly moonlight behind her. She is a conduit for the light.
Her foot is dipping into flowing water; the land is frosted in pale light.

I'd planned a very pale image with just blue and white but I went for a walk in a very red crisp frosty sunset and when I came back, added some warmth to the image in her hair and in the rich earth between her legs.

Watercolour on blue textured Khadi paper, which is a handmade cotton rag paper from India is 210 gsm paper with a beautiful deckled edge. There's something that I so love about this paper and I have painted almost a hundred images since January 2016!

I am offering this painting for sale unframed.

Please note that the photograph showing the "framed" painting is a Computer Generated Image to give an idea of how it would appear, with the image "floated" to show off the pretty deckled edge of the paper (showing a deep mount/matt, around the edge of the painting).

Sent to you carefully wrapped in acid-free tissue, packed flat in lightweight foam-core, by Tracked Courier.

Thank you for looking.
