Acrylics Painting ~ Beautiful Sunset

"Beautiful Sunset "
Acrylics on paper
22"×28"

Sunsets are so alluring, mesmerising, one can not help but fall in love with them. I love the yellow and orange hues and silhouettes created in the aesthetic sunsets. I couldn't resist to paint this beautiful view. 

Wanted to share one poem which exactly conveys my feelings about this painting, written by D. M. 

Here is the poetry. 

SILHOUETTES IN SUNSETS
 (Painting a picture)

© D. M. 

The sun sets across the horizon

The shadow grew

Mesmerised by the colors

The yellow and orange hues

The angler by the lake

Silhouetted and concealed by his background

The water glimmers against the light

Like a new jewel found

An eagle swoops down

Trying to catch its meal for the day

Oblivious to the darkening sky

Searching for its prey 

As I stared out my window

I stuck in it's beauty

Took up my paintbrush

And started to paint the wonderful scenery

The used to be empty wall

Is now filled

With my silhouette and sunset picture

Is just for your viewing pleasure. 

Acrylics Painting ~ Moonlight Night

"Moonlight Night"
Acrylics on Paper
22inch × 28inch

This artwork of mine is not fully abstraction. I have used acrylics on paper. The nature always attracted me towards it. I always get inspiration from it.

A moonlight night is one of the beautiful phenomena of nature. The moon may be crescent or full, but it is beautiful in either form. It looks beautiful in blue and dark sky. You all must have witnessed this beautiful view. In the dark sky, here and there are few patches of white clouds float slowly. It seems like the moon is playing hide-and-seek with these clouds. I enjoy this view. You all must have enjoyed it. It is very pleasant to look at the sky at the time and to hear the soft and musical sounds of crickets and night-birds.

The earth seems to be washed with moonlight. It seems to be an art of light and shade.

"The moon was up painting the world silver, making things look just a little alive." - N.D Wilson

When the moon showers its light upon earth it makes me feel like it is showering and expressing his love to earth.

There is one poem "Moonlight Night Love" which I have read somewhere, and want to share, the writer is unknown.

"As Moon comes

To earth every night

To court her affection

In the presence

Of a million stars

Yet oblivious of their stare

Only focused on his love

Scaling her in circles.

Never tiring, ever following

In orbital woos...

So will I circle

You my love

Till you say yes..!!

A moonlight is nature's sweetest offer to mankind. It gives an essence of love to mankind. As there is a saying that moonlight cannot get apart from moon likewise true lovers cannot get apart. It is rightly said by Debasish Mridha that -

"The moon is the reflection of your heart and moonlight is the twinkle of your love."

When I see in the dark sky it seems like moon is smiling upon us and is vanishing all the darkness of the earth and the darkness which is inside us, the darkness of sorrows and pain.

"Only the moon's smile can cure the unseen scars of darkness." - Munia Khan

"Moon is the light from a lantern in heaven." - Munia Khan

I just love the beauty of moonlight night. It gives peace and sense of calmness to my heart. Moonlight has a lasting effect on the human minds.

"The true joy of a moonlit night is something we no longer understand. Only the men of old, when there were no lights, could understand the true joy of a moonlit night." -Yasunari Kawabata
