The Moonchild Series was inspired by the lyrics from a song by King Crimson titled Moonchild from Court of the Crimson King.

Call her Moonchild
Dancing in the shadows of a river
Lonely moonchild
Dreaming in the shadow of a willow
Talking to the trees
in a cobweb dream
Sleeping in the steps of a fountain
Waving silver wands
to the night bird song
Waiting for the sun on a mountain
She's a moonchild
Gathering her flowers in a garden
Lovely Moonchild
Drifting in the echoes of the hour
Sailing on the wind
in a milk white gown
Dropping circle stones on a sundial
Playing hide and seek
with the ghosts of dawn
Waiting for the smile of a sunchild.

This painting the first of the series was inspired by Robert Hunter lyricist for the Graetful Dead, song St. Stephen...
Lady finger
Dipped in Moonlight
Asking "What for?" across the morning sky
Sunlight shatters dawn with answers
Darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye....
