Acrylic Abstract painting

This is my first painting on a big canvas, i took 4 days to complete this art piece with tones of intervals, enjoyed each and every step wile painting this....   “The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human. Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.” ― Tahereh Mafi , Shatter Me
