# Looking at the moon

There is something quietly poetic about this small work. A glowing orange circle hovers against soft turquoise and layered blocks of pink and red, like a moon rising over an imagined landscape. Lesley's layered process is fully present, even at this scale - translucent washes, textured passages and delicate line work overlapping in a way that feels intuitive rather than planned. Looking at the Moon may be small, but it carries presence - a private meditation in color that rewards close looking.
