Yes, a hell of a moon tonight. As for your painting, I was struck by just how powerful a circle of plain white paper can be in the center of a dark rectangle. Almost blinding.

Hi, James! It's so true, I really didn't have much to do, basic geometry has a lot to say. I've often thought the full moon looks like a hole punched in the sky.

I woke up at 4:30 am this morning and the moon got me out of bed, it was so bright.

I wondered if I had left the garage lights on by mistake...

Nice to know it is called the Full Cold Moon!

My favorite full moon names are the Cold Moon and the Worm Moon (in March), though the full Wolf Moon in January is pretty great, too. 4:30 am - !

Lovely painting. The number of names and stories for each moon is mind-boggling. Would make a good calendar / book. ;)

What a wonderful memory, Amy. And so funny about the cow! I love the Cold Moon. I hope it brightens your world again. :-)
