The Moonhead Story

"She Whispered Twilight Dreams
to Moonbaby"

10.75" x 15"
Acrylic on Paper
Unframed
For sale at private auction on Moonheadmama.com

I love this painting, the colors are very luminous and vivid. The yellows more yellow and green more green than what it looks like online. The photo doesn't do this painting justice. I almost titled it Meditative Nights or something along those lines because it seemed to have a very meditative quality to it. But then I looked at the Moonheadmama's mouth and it looks like she is whispering something to Moonbaby, soothing him with sweet dreamy words.

You might have been wondering, What the heck is a Moonhead anyway, so I developed the Moonhead Story a little more and put it on moonheadmama.com. I named the baby Moonhead "Milo". You can read the Moonhead description below.

What is a Moonhead you ask? Moonhead's live and play in the twilight hours and after midnight, you can find them flying fancifully, in a playful swirly fashion. Flying between moonbeams and shooting stars, in the shadow of the crescent moon, they land in small villages and do good deeds when nobody is looking and often you can find them working tirelessly into the wee hours. They love their children enormously and small furry animals, especially bunnies! They have a zest for life and feast on chocolate and marshmallows and love irish cheese. And yes, they do have moon shaped heads! Moonheadmama is the matriarch of this magical bunch and she loves to cradle a pure white, slivered moon baby in her arms, feeding her little Milo Moon chocolate almond milk and singing a sweet lullaby to ease her young one into a sleepy dreamland.

First Moonheadmama Painting Finished

"She Sang a Garden Lullaby
to Moonbaby"

14" x 11"

I finished my first Moonheadmama painting this afternoon. #1 in the series. I've always loved the title Moonheadmama and I've had a web site by that name for about 5 years. It was here in Todos Santos over a couple margaritas and some creative brainstorming that the name Moonheadmama was born. But since then I haven't done a lot with the Moonheadmama.com web site so recently I decided to use it to showcase Moonheadmama paintings! I will also be putting these new paintings on ebay and auctioning them off to the highest bidder. 20% of the proceeds will go to the non-profit Acres of Hope. Acres of Hope is a long term housing program for homeless women with children. I also made a video on the making of the first Moonheadmama painting and I'll be putting it on my Youtube channel soon!

I'm positive this series of paintings will evolve as I continue to paint them. I enjoyed it immensely because I pretty much let this painting create itself. I like the title too which is always a big part of my paintings. "She Sang a Garden Lullably to Moonbaby"...I think it's sweet. The Moonheadmama series will celebrate love, hope, joy, peacefulness and the ties between mother and child.
