“This giclée is made from my original
watercolor and pen and ink painting entitled “The Moon Sings a Lullaby
Full of Poppies and Katydids”. This is a fantasy piece. I was imagining what kind of
lullaby the moon would sing, if the moon could sing, to help people
drift off to sleep. I thought of the sounds of
katydids, which I’ve always loved to listen to on summer nights. And I thought of the poppy field in
The Wizard of Oz, which caused
Dorothy and her friends to fall asleep on their way to The Emerald City. So, this is a picture of the moon
singing us all to sleep with a lullaby full of poppies and katydids."
