Roping the moon

'Dreams' copyright 2010 Lacy Martin

Let me be as free as this light
Like the moon hangs solo in the night
Let me feel the energy as I capture this moment
Put it in a mason jar and forever own it.

This piece has a place within me so deep I cannot part from it anytime soon. I remember the moment i was inspired to paint this. I was at a farm and I looked up toward the night sky and the moon was so big and so bright I remember thinking I wish I could rope that moon and put it in a mason jar. I remembered how I would put lightening bugs in a jar in my room and just watch them at night. The moon grounds me, makes me feel comfort and inspires me to let my own light shine.
