About the work

A closer look.

Name a date and a place. I check what the sky actually did that night on live astronomical data (the moon's phase, how much of it was lit, which edge the light fell on), then paint it true: one square image, plus one line of writing. A birthday, a wedding, the night you met, the night someone left. Not a template and not a star-map generator. The painting is true to the moon. The cloud is the other half: the reading also carries how much of the sky was covered that hour, said plainly as either what stood that night or what that date usually does. Sources on the record card: sky record by Blake. Readable record from 1940. Before that the moon travels alone and I say so. If I cannot confirm the sky, you pay nothing.
