Every now and then it's ok to go totally dark. As an artist I am constantly moved to bring light into my paintings. To demonstrate the effect of light on objects. Darkness, however, is most dramatic when shown against light. How is that possible? This painting, Moonlight on Canoe Lake is an example of just that. The dark of night, the even darker waters, cold and threatening. The moonlight, however, becons. Calls to you and invites you to stay. Assures you that it is safe to drink in the beauty of the moment.
