The harvest moon--the full moon that occurs nearest to the autumnal equinox--has always been intriguing, as it appears large and low in the sky. Sometimes, the moon, hanging low in the sky, appears deep yellow or orange or even a vibrant red. This happens because particles in the atmosphere tend to scatter the moonlight's bluish components more than its reddish ones. Because of this, the moon appears redder the more atmosphere it passes through. Its color is most dramatic on hazy nights, when the clouds are dense and swirling. This is my vision of clouds swirling around a red Harvest Moon, taking on the different colors of the particles emitted around the moon.  Traditional and fluid art painting techniques were used to create the painting, "Harvest Moon".    This was submitted to a juried art show and was selected for exhibition.  This is available for sale.
