"April Evening" by Edward Gordon

The idea for my "April Evening" painting was inspired by an Alex Katz painting (read more about him on Wikipedia) that had black outlines of trees sillouted against a deep blue night sky.

The moonrise in the painting was captured near Laytonville, CA several years ago. Joa and I were rounding a bend on a 12 mile dirt road on our way to a wedding and ran smack into this gorgeous rising moon. This moon was very similar to the amazing "Blue" moon we saw in the early spring of 2011.

The lamp is a Handel design circa 1910 borrowed from our friend Michael Bruno who owns a fabulous antique jewelry store called Michael Joseph in Bellows Falls, Vermont (3 Westminster Street, 802-428-4444.) The woodwork and window are from our home here in Vermont.
