vvswan68 – The old bastion is sleeping
his painting depicts a dark night scene dominated by deep blacks and muted tones with minimal highlights. In the centre of the painting is a glowing full moon casting a pale light on an overcast sky. In the foreground is the silhouette of the bastion of an old castle with pointed roofs and chimneys. The outlines of the structure are faintly illuminated by moonlight, which gives it a mysterious and fantasy atmosphere.
In the right part of the composition, the water of the sea bay reflects the moonlight, creating highlights on the light ripples.
Directly in front of us we can see a passage in the wall to a narrow inner street, dimly lit by moonlight.
What awaits us there, in this mysterious sleeping fortification?
The overall mood is shadowy and mysterious, evoking a sense of loneliness and mystery.
The painting can be hung on the wall without a frame.
The artist used a mixed technique in this work - acrylic and oil.
