dc moon











Sweet Patrice presented us with  'moon',
a theme that brought me so much  'images' i could hardly concentrate on one,
(or was it the moon herself playing a part in this doubt and hesitation)

being outside at night i always look up to see the moon,
searching her on cloudy nights,
meeting her full face once a month, a good feeling,
on the one hand very enchanting, on the other hand ,putting me with both feet on the ground (earth)

even two year old grandson stands at the window ,
'maan' he says , pointing with his little finger.






one wonders why it took us so long to get to this theme,
 but her we are, drawing challenge nr.95,  moon,

to bathe in moonlight
please have a look at Patrice's beautiful place,
enjoy,

have a lovely weekend

  1. sweet Renilde,

    your words so true
    like you I always search for her sweet face
    wich grounds me also
    your first painting one for that children's book
    you once will make ;^))
    the second one a beauty
    all her faces, great!
    and that last image, gave me a big smile!!

    thank you!
    love

  2. I love the light in the first painting, you did really catch the moonlight.
    These ladies are fascinating, too. And the one in the middle, wow what a face!
    In german the moon is male, isn´t it strange? I never understood. She is female!
    Yes, I was thinking, too: Has this theme never been before?!?

  4. Even if a moon-face isn't quite a compliment usually, I still love yours!
    And those moon-phases as different persons...great paintings, all of them!

  6. Wonderful wonderful paintings! I especially love the women with the different moon phases faces. I too love the look for the moon, and remind myself that she is the same one being looked at no matter where you are in the world.

  8. Renilde, you paint the female moon beautifully. Most Canadians speak of the moon as being male but your female interpretation makes more sense! Thank you. Love the bunny too, of course. xo Carole

  13. Renilde, your series of moon inspired paintings is very cool "maaan." I love the one with the four figures, especially lovely! Also I am not sue why you are having trouble posting to my blog. there is a visual key you must retype ("to prove you are not a robot") perhaps this is the trouble. Other's have had issue too in the past. Harumph, well I will investigate!

  15. Dear Renilde,
    first of all I wanna thank you for your poetic, wonderful words at my moon. You've brighten night and day... thank you very much!

    Even here... that moonlight... wonderful. You've painted it so pretty on the face of the hare... and he's got a shadow while looking at the somnambulist!
    Great!
    The picture in the middle... is it a print? Fantastic, silent la luna.

    Your luna ladies showing different stages and holding delicate beautiful... reminds me on Malevich AND Chagall... what a wonderful liaison.

    Love
    xo Ariane.

  17. love the first..no the second... no the third painting the best...I can see why you had a hard time choosing an image when you could work with them all :)
    very inspiring!

  18. The moon speaks to you dear Renilde! Great post.xx

  19. yes, exactly; i actually thought we'd had the moon already, turned out i'd slipped it in before, because i couldn't keep myself, no doubt...

    clever images! but i do like the quirk in the last one, the four phases.
    those ladies are so, erm, snappy!

  20. The moon seems a very fitting theme for you! You paint in that dreamy way. I love your phases in the ladies as well!
    Have a great day!
    My moon is up!

  21. Renilde, all three of these are truly inspired, as well as inspirational! I hope you won't mind that I pinned them; if so, just let me know so I can take them down. I so believe your work should be recognized and enjoyed by many people. Magical!
