| "Moon Horse" ACEO |
When my daughter was little she just loved for me to read to her. One of her favorite books was a compilation of Mother Goose rhymes. The other night, when the moon was full and the sky was a bit cloudy, the bright light of the moonbeams appeared and disappeared behind the clouds. Into my head one of those old rhymes involuntarily manifested. And as I stood there watching this celestial show, I recited to myself…
Hey diddle diddle
The cats in the fiddle
The cow (horse) jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such sport
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
Okay, okay, I know that it’s supposed to be the cow that did the jumping. I’m sorry to disappoint, but you can remember it your way and I’ll remember it mine.
The theme this week at Creative Tuesdays is the moon. Many thanks to our host, Mr. Toast and please be sure and see all the other creative entries at CREATIVE TUESDAYS

So beautiful, Crystal. You sound like me changing the nursery rhyme. I did that with Rock-a-Bye Baby for my granddaughter and she recited it my way in school and got in trouble for changing the words.
Lovely painting!

I think this is one of my favorites! So soft and dreamy! Nice work!
Love the painting of the mooney horse! Hugs, Valerie

YOUR moon piece is amazing! The horse fits right in with that song!

So subtle and powerful at the same time. I change words to fit me/my kids better too. :D
It's very beautiful, Crystal! The moonlight washed over everything creates such a great mood. And cow/horse who cares:)
This is beautiful. I love the dark colors. And horses can jump higher than cows : )
Beautiful ACEO, at first I thought the horse was a unicorn, then I put my specs on and realised it was a horse. Brilliant idea. x
Che belle le filastrocche!!

This is so magical! I love the colours you have used and the scenery you have placed. At first, I also thought it was a unicorn. I think its the whole mysterious-ness!
What a beautiful painting ...just magical...
visiting for the first time from Creative Tues; I'm a new "player" and am loving seeing everyone else's ideas. Your card is just gorgeous - the colors are so moody and the moon highlights below are just great!
Beautifully executed little painting. So atmospheric with the moon shining off the horses back. Wonderful!
wow this is really good! So detailed and lovely nighttime effect
Gorgeous moon painting...love the colors!
Beautiful, as usual. I love your Moon Horse!
Oh I do love this....Your horses are so real I can almost feel the warm breath from their nostrils.
This night scene is so mystical and lovely.
BTW ~ I like you new Nursery Rhyme. Why shouldn't a horse jump over the moon...they are much better jumpers than cows, don't you think? haha
This is so beautiful, such lovely lighting by the moon!
Beautiful. I love your color choices.
Your aceo is STUNNING Crystal! I don't mean to yell, but it is very beautiful!!! Take Care ;o)
What else can I say but it;s simply beautiful as others have noted too. Love your version here. TY Crystal. :)
I love reading to my son too and remember with such fondness my Mum reading to me. Your painting has a great mood around it. Brilliantly done.
I am absolutely amazed at the details you put into your ACEOs!
Unfortunately I failed your horsey name game miserably - but I loved the painting that accompanied your post :)
xo

p.s. I am very accident prone (and I live very close to Lucille Ball's birthplace) so I appreciated your Lucy post!
Absolutely gorgeous...I love how you changed the Nursery Rhyme too. LOL. We have just returned from vacation in South Carolina and just had to see what you created lately. I will look at more posts as I catch up this weekend. Thanks for your sweet words while I was away. take care, gerri
Crystal, it's a beautiful glowing painting! I changed the words to nursery rhymes to make them more personal :D
Sorry I missed commenting earlier! Re horse / cow - That's the wonderful thing about memories, they are all our own and we remember things the way they meant the most to us. Lovely image. Janet
Fabulous ! moody and free piece love the colours and the whole feel of the piece.
