About This Painting
Color and silence converge in the night sky, where two egrets and a full moon share center stage.
A vibrant orange full moon dominates the upper center of the composition, glowing against a deep indigo sky scattered with stars. Below, a silhouetted egret perches atop a tree, its form sharply defined against the moon’s warm glow. Another egret glides through the air, wings outstretched in graceful motion, creating a sense of quiet movement. A soft blue halo from Earth’s atmosphere encircles the moon, adding depth and contrast to the celestial scene. The painting is signed by artist Teresa Bernard in the lower left corner, ensuring originality and authorship.

Artist Reflections
The most eye-catching feature of this painting is that big orange moon in the night sky with an egret in silhouette flying by. Looking at it, one can easily imagine what it would be like to “fly away” to Earth’s only satellite.
The night sky has always fascinated me. 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 feels like the stars are holding their breath. That glow, that magic, is what inspired ‘Fly Me to the Moon.’
