Summer's Over



Alright, the summer holidays are over and it's back to school. Ready to start a new year of art education, having picked up loads of experience over the summer break, visited the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam which was extremely interesting.

Then some relatives went to Australia and saw the phenomenon of staircase to the moon, which is when the reflection of the full moon creates stripes on the water due to the sand banks under the low sea level creating the illusion of steps, therefore named Staircase to the Moon.

So I decided to combine the rough edged painting style of Van Gogh and the moon and the reflection and painted this with oil based paint on canvas.
