Moonlit Ascent

11×14″ acrylic paint on canvas. This mesmerizing acrylic painting, “Moonlit Ascent,” features a majestic mountain with his retreat and cave as an open mouth swallowing month in the soft glow of a rising full moon. The mountain, a prominent peak near the Jajrud River in Iran, is depicted in rich, earthy tones that highlight its rugged texture and imposing stature. The moon, a celestial orb with a subtle glow, appears to be emerging from behind the mountain, casting a dramatic light on the landscape. The sharp contrast between the dark, mountainous terrain and the luminous moon creates a sense of awe and wonder.
