Autumn Harvest Moon

A large, luminous harvest moon dominates the center of the canvas, rendered in vivid orange, red, and gold with textured brushwork suggesting a glowing, almost molten surface. The moon is surrounded by a soft cyan-blue halo that transitions into a deep, moody midnight-blue background. In the foreground, dark silhouetted grasses, reeds, and curling bare branches frame the composition, adding an eerie, gothic quality. The overall mood is atmospheric and mysterious, evoking autumn nights and a sense of the supernatural. The palette contrasts warm amber-orange against cool deep blues, making it visually striking yet approachable for beginner painters.
