Sapphire Eclipse

This huge 3-panel panorama painting is 20″ x 60″ (each panel is 20″ x 20″,) Oil on Canvas.

I wanted to paint the magical feeling I have in my life right now, on the cusp of a pivotal moment. I chose a palette of lovely cool blues, greens and violets, to represent fresh night air, green living things, and the glittering diamond effect of a star-strewn sky.

It’s called Sapphire Eclipse.

Here are close-ups of the 3 separate panels.

Some details that I especially love. The eclipse itself:

This little cluster of trees, dreamily backlit:

And the four birds in flight. To me, they symbolize my family, spirits flying together through life.
