Description
Moonlight – a charcoal moon over a single trunk
A poetic winter scene in cream, ochre and umber: at the left middle hangs an oval, moon-like shape, drawn in loose charcoal calligraphy, with a dense knot at its top from which thin arcs sweep to the right.
Technique & Texture
Behind the oval, at the upper left, floats a soft white glow like a cloudy crescent, and at the lower left rises a single dark umber trunk with white dripping streaks – the only tree of the scene, enough to give winter its scale. This is a hand-painted canvas – fine dots spray across the whole canvas like mist.
The Motif
Beneath the oval runs a horizontal dark blurred line – a water or snow surface that grounds the moon – while along the right side and lower centre warm rust-ochre clusters gather, autumn leaves that winter has not yet taken.
Styling & Placement
A quiet painting on canvas for bedrooms, living rooms and waiting rooms; the calligraphic stroke gives it an Eastern calm, and the warm accents make sure winter does not chill – wall art with the stillness of a snowfall.

Moonlight in portrait format: choosing a size and hanging it
Moonlight is painted in 15 portrait sizes, from 40 x 55 to 200 x 279 cm. For a narrow wall beside a wardrobe or between two windows choose 50 x 69 or 60 x 83 cm, and for a console about 100 cm wide choose 70 x 97 cm, which spans roughly two thirds of its width. In a stairwell or a tall waiting room, where the charcoal moon and umber trunk are seen from further away, choose 90 x 125 or 100 x 139 cm, and beside a bed, 60 x 83 cm.
In the photograph Moonlight hangs in a slim black frame on a dark wall under two spotlights. A frame is optional: for Moonlight the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”, and choosing YES under Stretcher means the canvas arrives stretched and ready to hang. Delivery of Moonlight takes 15–45 days. Moonlight is hand-painted, charcoal calligraphy and fine spray dots included, so this painting is not a print.
What do buyers ask about Moonlight?
Which size of Moonlight fits a narrow wall beside a bed?
For a wall up to 90 cm wide choose 50 x 69 or 60 x 83 cm, so the charcoal moon and the white glow above it stay balanced against the cream space.
Is a frame included with Moonlight?
No, a frame for Moonlight is optional and can be added in the Frame menu, which starts at “Without frame”.
Can I order Moonlight in a size that is not among the 15?
Yes, we paint the charcoal moon over its single umber trunk as a painting made to order to your measurements.
Is Moonlight a print?
No, the loose calligraphy, the white drips on the trunk and the rust-ochre clusters of Moonlight are applied by hand, stroke by stroke.
