BLUE MOON NIGHT — PALETTE KNIFE Oil Painting On Canvas By Leonid Afremov

BLUE MOON

The unique event

We live at the time of modern technologies, and it’s really hard to surprise us with something natural. But there is one very special thing – the blue moon. It is one of the most interesting phenomenons that you may observe in the sky. If you have never heard about it, here is a piece of information for you:

• This type of moon occurs rarely, when there is more than one full moon within a month.
• The moon isn’t actually blue by its color, but it can get such shade if there is a volcanic eruption or big forest fire.
• There can be two blue moons in a year, in January and March; in this case, you won’t see full moon in February.
• There are two phrases that concern this phenomenon: until a blue moon means “never”, and once in a blue moon means “rarely”, because this lunar event is really a rare thing.

All things that are connected with natural secrets attract creative people, the examples of the most interesting artworks you can see here. Are you ready to see the wonderful and inspiring blue moon?

The mysterious night

There are nights that are usual and we quickly get used to their beauty. Leonid Afremov decided to show one more evening on canvas that could have been one more pretty painting, and nothing more. An autumn park, where you can hear the rustle of raindrops; bright street lights that are illuminating the trees that are covered in yellowish leaves; the puddles on the roads that are doubling the vividness of the picture. But only one prominent detail that changes this cityscape was added; that was the blue moon. We can observe a silhouette on the road; this person is with an umbrella in his or her hand. So, it is raining, but the sky is unbelievably clear, because the light from the blue moon meets no boundaries. This is an incredible view, but does this person see it? How many times we hide under umbrellas and earphones, and miss many interesting things? If you like this painting and are looking for other great artworks, gallery of Leonid Afremov is waiting for you. Don’t miss your chance!
