Twilight Moon II

Over the last few nights, there has been a beautiful full moon and I was amazed at how the sky had taken on a deep blue color. So I silhouetted some trees in front of the moon and tried to capture the feeling of the moment.

50 Places in 50 Paintings 

This series explores the idea of a "sense of place" through paintings. Each place may call for a different medium, and I hope to work in oils, acrylic, watercolor, ink, and gouache. Each painting will be about a specific place and I will try to capture the essence of what I am experiencing while visiting.

About the Artist

Scott Raynor is a working artist, educator, and social media content creator whose career spans more than three decades. He earned both his undergraduate and graduate degrees in art from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and completed additional graduate study at Johnson State University in Vermont. His artistic development has been enriched through prestigious residencies, including the Vermont Studio Center and the Scuola di Ars Grafica in Venice, Italy.

Raynor's work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in more than sixty juried and solo exhibitions. Recent venues include the Blue Mountain Gallery in New York City, the San Diego Museum of Art, and the Savannah College of Art and Design. His paintings and drawings have also been exhibited in the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Germany, and China. In addition, he has served as a visiting artist at several universities and has received numerous awards for his work.

A professor of art for more than 28 years, Raynor balances teaching with an active studio practice rooted in direct observation. His paintings range from intimate still lifes and woodland scenes to luminous landscapes inspired by the American Southwest. Through series such as Cathedrals of Light and 100 Paintings in 100 Days, he explores the beauty of ordinary subjects and extraordinary places with expressive brushwork and a deep appreciation for light.

Collectors have acquired more than one hundred of Raynor's original paintings and prints in the past year alone, and his work is held in private collections throughout the United States and abroad. Through his artwork and widely followed educational content on art history and painting, Raynor continues to share his belief that beauty, curiosity, and creativity remain essential parts of everyday life.
