Fly Me To The Moon


SOLD (90cm x 70cm) Commission

The importance and indeed the beauty of the moon is very much underestimated. Still covered in mystery, It’s almost as if it has been forgotten about since the last of the moon landings….apart from when there is an eclipse!

More people should take the time to look up once in a while and let their minds wander and wonder in awe of The Moon, Earths natural satellite.

In saying that, if asked, I bet the majority of the human race would jump at the chance of getting that little bit closer to it or better still, making one giant leap of their own on it’s surface.

Hi Scott! You are so right! The moon is spellbinding - I can't help but gaze at it during a clear starlit night! There is a certain aura about it and each stage has it's own charms! I love it best when it is whole and full and brilliant white, casting a pure white light over the sleeping earth...

Hi Diane.

You are so right.

This was a commission for a client that wanted to incorporate their own Hare sculpture into the painting. Their hare is supposedly staring at the moon, and she also asked that her husband, portrayed as the boy, could be placed with the hare.

I was really pleased how this painting turned out.

Hi Scott,

Mia here, I LOVE this picture! It symbolizes to me George and mine favourite book about the little brown hare who tells his son that he loves him to the moon and back! I have read that book to George nearly every night since he was born. Any chance of you doing prints? Or what price for a slightly amended commission. Mia xx
