Textured abstract landscape with a white moon and broad pale blue halo on the right. Small white star-like flecks dot the deep blue on the left. Plum-brown foreground forms surround a muted gold and grey passage.
A deep blue sky opens across the upper and central area. Scattered white flecks on the left suggest distant stars. On the right, an irregular white moon sits within broad circular strokes of pale blue. Grey-blue and muted brown forms hang along the top edge. Below, a plum-brown ridge slopes from the left towards a central-right passage of cream, grey and subdued gold. Fine grooves and raised patches run through these earth colours. The open sky and steady moon give the composition a still, peaceful atmosphere.
The moon endures above the sleeping land. Stars extend beyond the places we can name, beyond the span of a single life. Nothing asks us to hurry. We remain beneath this peaceful sky, feeling the quiet continuity of a world that will carry its light into another night.
