Once in a Sturgeon Moon-plein air oil-gold-leaf
Painted en plein air beneath the final full moon of summer—the Sturgeon Moon—this work captures a rare moment when the florals in Shizico Yi’s garden glowed under brilliant moonlight. What began as an immediate response to the night evolved into a three-week creation, layered with emotion, memory, and the warmth of a summer evening.
After the oils dried, Shizico returned in her studio to gild the canvas with delicate rays of gold leaf, amplifying the moon’s radiance and the celebratory energy of late-summer blooms. The deep red background, reimagining the moonlit sky, forms a confident contrast that heightens the intensity of the florals.
More than a still life, Once in a Sturgeon Moon is a passionate impression—each brushstroke a gesture of devotion to presence, to being fully alive in that luminous night.
Shizico’s expressive palette reflects her profound connection to her garden and the memories it holds. Through colour, form, and atmosphere, she invites the viewer into a moment of moonlit joy—where light becomes life, and looking becomes remembering.
