You've created a wonderful tribute to Nick Drake - I don't actually know this musician but I do love your painting Ray. Love the pink moon, the waves and ripples in the sea and reflections in the wet sand in the foreground. A lovely composition.
Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. Suzanne

What a glorious scene of this pink Moon and the dramatic light that it created on the foreground. I love the layers of textures of grass blades and earth tone rocks and soil. Those dark tones and shadows added depth in your composition and of course drama of the evening sky. High on originality and creativity. This is a nice tribute to Nick Drake, Ray.

Ray, I am not familiar with Nick Drake, however this like a lovely tribute shown from the heart. The top two thirds of this painting was more attractive to me, because of the light and energy shown. Perhaps you can enlighten me as to the meaning of the lower third that is so dark.

    Hi Michele, You asked the question about the lower half of the painting. Beyond the waters edge, the land dosen't reflect much moon light artist license. The area in my eyes also balances the brightness of the water scene. Thank you for your wonderful review, rating and question. I am Glad you enjoy it. Ray
Comment from Charline Jones


I really like it. I can see the moon reflecting off the water. If your goal was to make the moon the center piece of the art then you have achieved that

    Charline, thank you for your wonderful review, rating and comments. A pink moon doesn't happen all the time, Most of the time it is orange as it rises. Nick Drake wrote the song Pink Moon. He passed and this post is a tribute to him. I am glad you enjoy it. Ray

I do not know who the musician is but you created a wonderful memorial. The moon rising over the water is very dramatic. I like the waves once again outlined by your signature style.

The waves are very dramatic almost as if on fire. Very nicely done.

    Thank you Brian for your fine review. I am glad you like it. Nick Drake was a Brit and a wonderful song writer, but he passed too young. Ray

Comment from Kathy Banich


Very, very cool! Your color palette is very appealing to the eye. Those reflective pinks that are contrasting with the blues, greens and ambers as the pink moon illuminates the water is "Wow" to say the least. There is a balance of masculinity and femineity in this piece that really comes together for a compelling and dynamic view.

A wonderful tribute to Nick. I love your work Ray, it's always a treat to view and a pleasure to review.

Comment from alaskapat


This is a wonderful tribute to this artist , I'm sure it was inspired by the song with same title.
The pink moon is perfectly placed within the scene and I love the way it shines over the water. This is of course very well rendered with such an amazing show of the moon, the water and its motion, the light and shadows , the colors are so well chosen and applied!
I love the way you show the waters edge in the foreground.
This is awesome, Ray! Very well presented!

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


Wow! You've captured the essence of nature beautifully here and have paid tributes to the departed musician! The framing is spot on, and the use of light and shadows adds depth, while the colours and composition complete the picture. Great effort! Here is my SIX for you. Cheers!
