Starry Starry Night

Starry Starry Night is a compact oil painting, just 3 by 3 inches, that captures a quiet winter evening at our local mountain. I focused on the textured snow covering the peak, using white and pale blue tones to bring out its form against the dark night. Below, the sharp silhouettes of pine trees create contrast, grounding the scene. The sky is a deep black, dotted with small, crisp stars, while a bright full moon near the left side lends a calm light that holds the composition together. Framed in black to echo the night’s shadows, this piece reflects the stillness and clarity I experienced on a clear winter’s night after fresh snow.
