“November Moon” Jim Connelly

“This piece was inspired by a moment of quiet clarity right outside my studio—the way the November moon hung low in the sky just as the sun began to set.”  Jim Connelly

In November Moon, Jim Connelly captures the “blue hour” of the American West with a personal, observational intimacy. Unlike a staged scene, this work was born from a view outside the artist’s own studio, where the early moonrise met the fading warmth of a late autumn sunset.

The painting features a lone horse, saddled and standing in quiet repose, rendered with Connelly’s signature bold, impressionistic brushwork. By focusing on the soft play of light against the horse’s coat and the cooling desert floor, Connelly elevates a routine moment into a poetic reflection on the passage of time. It is a testament to the beauty found in the everyday rhythms of ranch life—where the day’s work ends just as the lunar light begins to take hold.
