Art Print, 12x18: Moon Garden

“Moon Garden” When the sun sets and the diurnal animals pass to slumber, the garden remains electric and brimming with life, governed by the moon and the rhythms of her phases. The night calms the noise and can provide clarity to those wise and courageous enough to seek to understand. Even in the darkness of the New Moon, bats and moths engage in their ancient nightly dance — invisible aerial acrobatic predator and prey. In the brilliance of the Full Moon, the shadows and light play on the nocturnal blossoms of the Moon Flower, evolved to open when their pollinators (the moths) are available.  Mugwort, the herb of dreams, with her silver leaves is most glorious in this light - as is Lamb’s Ear, soft and hazy, even in the light of day, thriving quietly in the shadier corners. The wandering lightning bugs, each silently communicating with light produced from its living body, drift through the humid air searching for a mate. Together, their bioluminescent splendor blesses the Moon Garden
