Moon Gates Album Cover

Painting for the cover of the third Aura Merlin album, “Moon Gates” .

I also did some illustrations for this album which you can see here: Moon Gates Illustrations .

This painting reference 90’s fantasy art and new age visuals quite a bit, and expands upon the visual world that I’ve been building for Aura Merlin since her first album.

A blue-tinted painting of a garden with a moon dial in the center, a tower is visible in the distance and an owl is flying into the scene carrying a lantern, we see the scene through a circular stone gate
