The moon…..with silent delight, sits and
smiles on the night (William Blake). Palmer
was introduced to Blake's work in 1824, just
before moving to Shoreham where one can
see the visionary influence of Blake on his work.
My piece, Moonlight, was inspired partly by
looking at Palmer's moonlit paintings such as
'Cornfield by Moonlight' and the slightly later
'Gypsy Encampment' which I particularly like.
On holiday recently a full moon cast a soft glow
over the whole landscape and led to this mixed
media piece.
