Description
A large full moon glows behind clusters of round, pom-pom-shaped blue-green chrysanthemums or dahlias with dark red-brown stems, set against a dark garden of black silhouetted foliage and grasses. Four yellow fireflies or dragonflies hover among the blossoms, their wings and bodies rendered in bright chartreuse against the deep blue-grey night sky. "A Moonlight Night" by Asako Iwasawa, acrylic on canvas, date unknown.
