Description
This painting is from the opening scene of a story that my daughter wrote while she was in the 7th or 8th grade. The title of the story was "The Knocker". I added the constellation Libra to the sky to indicate judgment. A judgment can be either good or bad ~ in this case I believe the knocker is bringing good news. I intend to do a series of paintings of this home with the stars and constellations changing with the seasons and times of the year. If you are well acquainted with astronomy you might find something unusual about this night sky.

This is a beautiful painting Matt and I love the story behind its inspiration. I see the scales for Libra in the sky and is that a crab for cancer too? The lighting is perfect and creates wonderful ambience and the era of the coach and horse just adds that extra magic. l.f.twt

Penny, thank you for the kind words ~ that is actually a scorpion ~ Scorpio in the upper left . . Virgo is in the upper right ~ where some of us believe is where the story really begins : )
