Believing In Magic
The moon smiled softly in a violet blue sky. Its presence added a magical feel as it hovered over the park. It whispered tales of cheerful summer days, creating excitement for what lies ahead.
Magical moments present themselves regularly in nature. Children seem to innately be aware of this phenomenon. It is adulthood that silences these moments as the responsibilities of life take over. Stepping into nature restores the belief in magic and renews faith, if one is willing to listen.

I am returning to the park to paint again this year to add new work to my Powell’s Point Park Series. As long as I can remember I have loved and been fascinated with the moon. I love how it tauntingly appears even in the early morning hours. I remember as a child reading magical stories and poems about the moon. As children we liked to discuss the moon imagining that the dark spots were chunks of cheese. Even the saying “The Man in the Moon” revved up our imaginations; whereby, we began to string along various fun stories. The moon has a magical quality that I think can appeal to even adult imaginations! I would love to hear any of your stories about your infatuation with the moon!
Warmly,
Debbie
P.S. You can find the video post about the day I was on location painting the study for this painting here. As a little added note, the day I painted the study for this painting, I was celebrating my 28th Wedding Anniversary with Ian. Time sure does fly!
