This is the final painting in the Series 'Out of the Dark'. It is different from the other 3 in colour and technique but the effect is still the same. I had a hard time using photo manipulation software to reduce the glare on either side of the edges, so the edges seem a bit 'fake'. The original painting itself is much more even.  Note; original photo quality was poor

Long Night's Moon, aka 'December' oil on canvasboard 9x12 inches / 23x30.5 cm Sold Online Store The Full Cold Moon; or the Full Long Nights Moon – December -  During this month the winter cold fastens its grip, and nights are at their longest and darkest. It is also sometimes called the Moon before Yule. The term Long Night Moon is a doubly appropriate name because the midwinter night is indeed long, and because the Moon is above the horizon for a long time.   ~ farmer's almanac
