harvest by moonlight
Artwork by Sarah Spencer
Currently a work in progress ~
Norma's Gaze
5" x 5" oil on canvas board, 2026
In 2024 I began a new series: a series of oil paintings depicting the 12 signs of the western zodiac on panels engraved with corresponding symbols.
My main goal in mind with this project was to improve my oil painting and it’s been a nice bonus exploring the themes of one of my favorite subjects at the same time.
Beginning with Aries, and continuing in order…
Aries (2024)
10" x 10" round, oil on birch panel
Taurus (2024)
10" x 10" round, oil on birch panel
Gemini (2025)
10" x 10" round, oil on birch panel
Cancer (2025)
10" x 10" round, oil on birch panel
Leo (2026)
10" x 10" round, oil on birch panel

Why 'Harvest by Moonlight'?
'Harvest by Moonlight' is the result of a brainstorming session where I played with piecing together different words that I wanted my artwork to relate to. Sarah Spencer is a fairly common name and I wanted something that I could use across the internet that was more unique for securing URLs, usernames, and the like. It's also a nod to the late, late nights that I used to spend as a night owl, painting (I paint during daylight hours now).
