Dream Shine


The phenomenon known as planetshine occurs when reflected sunlight from a planet illuminates the dark side of one of its moons. Typically, this results in the moon's dark side being bathed in a soft, faint light. The best known example of planetshine is Earthshine, which can be seen from Earth when the Moon is a thin crescent.

I used this concept loosely as basis for a painting that is a dream state, a place where the heavenly brain is illuminated by the soft under belly of the unconcious during nightly slumber.
