This is an original painting of the full moon rising to light up the night sky. The moon appears above a line of trees that are in silhouette in the foreground and a star-filled sky in the background. This beautiful piece of art will look great in the home or office of anyone who enjoys gazing at the night sky. This piece is hand-painted and signed by Texas artist Teresa Bernard in the lower left side.

Skillfully made by hand on a gallery wrap canvas, Full Moon Rising extends its composition around the sides of the canvas. When an artwork is painted on this kind of canvas, a frame is not necessary for exhibition; yet it will still look captivating if you decide to have it framed. This moon light art piece comes with a custom Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

The copyright watermark ©️ teresabernardart.com is used exclusively online and is not part of the physical canvas artwork’s composition.

Artist Comments

The east Texas moon is the inspiration behind Full Moon Rising. My favorite time to take a walk is in the late evening before turning in for the night. On a cloudless or nearly cloudless night, I love looking up into the night sky and seeing the stars and moon. I especially love it when the moon shines so brightly that it lights up the night and makes it appear almost like day! This is just one of the many “bennies” of country living.

The Far Side of the Moon

FYI…Did you know the common belief the moon has a dark side is a myth? The truth is both sides of the Moon see the same amount of sunlight.

The Moon makes a full rotation on its axis approximately once every 27 days. This is also approximately the same amount of time it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth, which means the same side is always facing the Earth. Astronomers refer to this as “synchronous rotation.”

Only about 59% of the moon is ever visible to Earth over the course of an orbit. The rest of the 41% — the part we call “dark” — is never visible from Earth. The “far side” of the Moon has only been seen by the human eye from a spacecraft.
