Pat Forbes

Hunter's Moon, Abstract Painting

2019

Artist Comments
This piece is the first in Pat's new "Moon" series. The paintings explore the wonder of the moon in its ever changing aspects. "The full moon that occurs close to the autumnal equinox is called the Hunter's Moon," says Pat. "It has a bright presence that illuminates the sky long into the fall night. The muted colors in this painting reflect the time of year when everything seems to go to sleep. Soon winter will arrive."

About the Artist
Pat Forbes is an abstract painter whose aesthetic is heavily influenced by her 20 years as a collector and dealer of Middle Eastern textiles. Pat, who lives on the Atlantic Ocean in Massachusetts, uses a neutral palette to present her interpretation of the world around her– from marshes and mountains to stones and spiderwebs. She is drawn to pattern and design, both of which influence the use of balanced repetition in her work. Pat’s muted colors invite pensive meditation, while her deliberate use of line guides the eye through satisfyingly symmetrical compositions.
