For thousands of years astrologists gazed into the night, studying the position of stars, attempting to divine the future. For hundreds of years astronomers stared at these same stars to ferret out the secrets of the cosmos. All this stargazing was a lot of work. But when clouds scudded across the sky and entered into a dance with moonlight that obscured the constellations, the stargazers would stop working and simply revel in the beauty of the night sky.
This painting attempts to capture the interplay of night clouds and moonlight that gave ancient stargazers a little break from their arduous tasks. Are you the sort of person that should take a break every now and then but sometimes doesn't? This painting will remind you to slow down and take five. If so, then email akhadoure@aol.com
