Stag Moon

A silhouetted stag stands against a massive full moon dominating the night sky, flanked by dark pine tree silhouettes on either side. The composition is centered with the deer positioned slightly right of center, creating a dramatic backlit effect. The color palette is deep navy blue and black for the foreground elements, with soft blue-white gradients radiating from the glowing moon, and scattered white stars dotting the upper sky. The mood is serene, mystical, and quietly majestic. The painting uses broad, smooth brushwork with high contrast between dark silhouettes and the luminous moonlight, making it accessible for beginner to intermediate painters.
