Secret Moon Art

Tonight's Full Moon appearing with the jolly planet Jupiter has inspired one of my 'observatory' drawings (Prismacolor oil pencils and Rexel Derwent watercolours.) To read why this Full Moon actually isn't a Blue Moon as some have called it read NPR's Blue Moon? article or listen to the broadcast from this morning.

Painted buntings lay low in shrubs and bushes unless and until they're lookin' for luv...guess this fellow must be on his way to a secret rendezvous!

This Primrose, Primula viallii is a hardy and deciduous perennial which forms rosettes of somewhat hairy, toothed leaves over which bloom poker-like spikes of tubular flowers that are crimson when in bud but later open to violet-purple in summer (it's double L in 'viallii'...sorry, but if I change the post title it'll mess with the link.) Neutral to acid soil in partial shade for these little ladies, please! The fairy just showed up unannounced and unbidden...you may have to click to enlarge to see her there. You'll find new art uploaded at Cosmic Persona Designs for your personal viewing pleasure... Jude Cowell

Here's a Cinnamon teal on the lake in the moonlight...

In these chaotic times a calm and still mind is above price and Buddha-esque Baby wishes one for you! (c)2007 secret moon art
