I can't tell you how good it makes me feel, your comment. You have spoken what I wanted to communicate in painting the scene, so perfectly. Also, thank you for noticing about the snow to sand transition. I was thinking of the hourglass sand, but after writing it, I thought about how the sand and snow were like different seasons and how love changes the season from ice snow to warm beaches. :-) Oh Sarah, your comment (and your twitter post) made me feel like you not only saw my painting, you went into that scene and walked in it.

I love this one. You made some beautiful choices here. The trees, and trodden path, are arranged in a way that lead our eyes to that fat, waxing moon. But then you conceal the moon with those fingered branches, also reflected in the trees' roots. I feel like something is clinging, or cracking. There's a stark beauty to the scene, but an icy loneliness, too. It's absolutely riveting. The poem melted me, especially the lines that Nevine pointed out. The transition from "snow" to "sand" was brilliant. It brought an automatic warmth, while also alluding to time's ephemeral nature. And to think that all of this flowed from within made it that much stronger. The purity of snow seems a perfect backdrop for a moonlight rebirth. :) Cat, I think I like every painting you do better than the last. I love this one. You made some beautiful choices here.
