Before The Moon Went Down, Acrylic on Canvas 36" x 48"
This painting, part of a landscape series, captures the essence of a small town. It includes houses, trees, streets, and the moon, weaving together a vivid portrayal of the town's daily life. Viewers are invited to immerse themselves in the community, experiencing its entirety in one glance. Reflecting the sentiment expressed in John Prine's lyrics from "In A Town This Size," the painting conveys the idea that in a close-knit town, there is no escaping the scrutiny of neighbors. The lyrics, "I had a fight with my girlfriend last night. Before the moon went down it was all over town," poignantly depict the interconnectedness and gossip filled atmosphere that may be characteristic of life in a town of this size.
