Harvest Moon Ball - Master Stroke

The Harvest Moon Ball painting makes you think back to old times when folks still knew their neighbors and word traveled quickly.

"There's a barn dance tonight."

It was a time for folks from miles around to gather and socialize. Men talked about crops, prices, and politics. Women discussed their kitchen kingdoms, home-making, and child-rearing. The kids, well they just worked off excess energy and played hard. In the Harvest Moon Ball, Terry Redlin captures this rural American ritual with all its color, excitement, and bustling activity. The rich tones of indigo, gold, and brown are guaranteed to instill a calming tone in any bedroom or living room.
