Moon Shadows
This evocative nocturnal oil on linen painting by John Dowd captures a quiet New England neighborhood scene bathed in cool moonlight, with two clapboard houses partially obscured by dark, looming trees. A warm amber glow emanates from the windows of the house on the left, creating a striking contrast against the deep blue tonality of the night sky and surrounding landscape. A white picket fence runs along the foreground, adding a sense of domesticity and stillness to the composition. The work was exhibited and offered for sale through William Scott Gallery in Provincetown as part of the artist's summer show running through September 15, 2023.
