Description
I got out of bed to close the shutters because the moon was shining in the room and then I ran to get my camera. I took several reference pictures from the 2nd story window and then painted this impression. Research indicated the first full moon in March is called the Worm Moon because in the Northern Hemisphere it is the start of Spring and the worms begin to move in the thawing ground.
