"Utility Pole In Sunset Moon"

Oil on Board. Approx 6"x6" SOLD

I love when the sun is setting and the moon gets that glow about it. Also this is my first attempt at a utility pole. I really liked painting the power lines. Implying them but not making them too perfect. It was a good exercise to stay loose yet controlled.
