"Living outside the City in New Mexico has enhanced my awareness of changing light, seasonal color and events in the night sky, especially those around the moon. This series honors my father, who, on occasion, painted celestial themes, including the sun and moon... Blue Moon is also a Winter moon, but seen in early morning, before sunrise, where the surroundings are blue-white." - Claire Kahn

In the glistening gossamer of early morn, at about the time the grazing meadow receives its dew, there is a bold moon, seen just in view. Its bold edifice transforms the scene before it, into a tranquil atmosphere that is cool and bright. Taking in the moment, Claire Kahn manifests the setting into an intoxicating work of adornment. In an appeasing pattern, the artist unites pulses of cerulean blue with progressions of white that transcend into a hushed gray. Following the beaded strand, the mind relaxes upon the sight of soothing elation. Around the piece's perimeter, Claire fashions an assemblage of moonstone and topaz, evoking the luscious glint and gleam of the morning scene, right before sunlight encompasses the landscape. Here, the artist creates a compelling work of art, one of stunning, yet quiet magnificence.

This piece is part of Claire Kahn's mini series, Moon River.
