Full Moon Over A Silvery Sea.

Ever found yourself looking up at the moon in the night sky…I know silly question, who hasn’t… it’s an awe-inspiring sight.
I think we’re all affected by the pull of the moon as it shines brightly over us all.
At about a quarter the size of earth it does have a great effect on everyone, the tidal force being the most obvious one, but the full moon is also associated with effects on our emotions and activity.
 
The spiritual significance of the full moon varies across different cultures and belief systems. However, the common thread is the belief that it's a powerful time for self-reflection, growth, and connection with the natural world. 
 
So we’re standing on this planet looking up at the night sky and maybe thinking, what causes a full moon anyway.
Well the moon goes around the earth and the earth goes around the sun and once a month-ish the sun is on one side of us and the moon is on the other.
All of the moon’s surface is illuminated by the sunlight without planet earth getting in the way. And there you have it, a full moon.
Let’s enjoy the beauty of the lunar phase of a full moon together.
 
This painting is based on evening walks from our home in St Ives, Cornwall, sometimes with a torch.
