Paintings of the Night Sky — Nocturnal Serenades

Where Art and the Universe Harmonize

When the sun retreats beyond the horizon, I find myself drawn to the quiet hours—the ones where the world settles into a hushed rhythm. It’s then that I step outside and lift my gaze to the night sky, and it beckons me to paint. My paintings of the night sky are born from moments like these. The ones when the horizon blurs into obsidian, and the first stars emerge like diamonds strewn on a velvet curtain.

Above me, constellations reveal themselves—the familiar patterns etched by ancient storytellers. The Pleiades cluster huddles close, as if conspiring to reveal their stories. Orion strides across the velvet curtain, his belt a trio of luminous gems. The Big Dipper, like an old friend, guides me northward. And there, Cassiopeia reclines, her throne woven from stardust. Sometimes, it’s the quiet drama—the way the moon casts shadows on the barn roof, or the lone tree stands sentinel against the Milky Way—that captures my heart.

So, I invite you to gaze upward with me as you look upon my night sky paintings. Let the canvas hold your gaze, and perhaps you’ll hear the same whispers—the cosmic lullabies that serenade us when the world sleeps.

Artist Comments

The most eye-catching feature of this painting is that big orange moon in the night sky with a silhouetted egret. Looking at it, one can easily imagine what it would be like to “fly away” to Earth’s only satellite.

The night sky is one of my favorite things. I love looking up at it to see the vastness of outer space, the faraway planets, the milky way along with all the stars and constellations, and of course, Earth’s moon in whichever stage it happens to be in at the time. I especially love seeing our moon shining so brightly it makes the night look like it’s daytime!

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.

—Teresa Bernard

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.
