Moonrise | Romantic Painting of Autumn Trees and a Full Moon

This painting, “Moonrise,” captures a sense of romance and wonder on a tranquil autumn night.

There’s something magical about a full moon rising—the way its soft glow transforms the landscape, casting everything in a quiet, otherworldly light.

This 30″ x 40″ acrylic painting on a wood panel depicts a ring of trees standing beneath a blue-gray starry sky, with the full moon glowing above.

While you can see some details of tiny branches reaching into the sky, parts of the trees fade into hazy smudges in the twilight, as if the fall of darkness is softening their edges.

The trees are painted in rich autumn colors — deep red, soft orange, and earthy brown.

Encircling the moon is a delicate halo of rainbow light, a fleeting optical phenomenon that adds to the painting’s dreamlike quality.

The muted palette of silvery gray, brown, lavender, and warm earth tones creates a sense of calm and quiet beauty.

“Moonrise” invites you to linger in a moment where time seems to pause, a reflection of nature’s quiet elegance. This painting is a window into the beauty of the natural world.
