Joanne Short captures the mystique and timeless beauty of one of Somerset’s most iconic landmarks in 'Full Moon over Glastonbury Tor'. This 12 x 12-inch original oil painting is a masterful blend of natural beauty and tranquillity, showcasing the ancient Glastonbury Tor beneath the luminous glow of a full moon.
In the foreground, vibrant foxgloves and delicate wildflowers frame the scene, their rich pinks, crimsons, and whites strikingly contrasting the dark, velvety night sky. The simple, clean lines and vivid colours, characteristic of Joanne Short’s style, create a peaceful yet powerful composition. Glastonbury Tor, with its ancient tower atop the hill, stands as a quiet sentinel, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight.
Short’s unique use of bold, expressive colours and her ability to distil a landscape down to its most essential and beautiful elements evoke both a sense of wonder and calm. The interplay of light and shadow, paired with the serenity of the scene, invites the viewer into a contemplative moment, where the landscape speaks of history, spirituality, and nature's cycles.
This original painting is a standout piece for collectors and art lovers who appreciate both the natural beauty of the Somerset landscape and Joanne Short’s signature style. Her works are widely collected and celebrated for their vibrant, modern take on the British countryside, and this painting, with its deep connection to the mysticism of Glastonbury, is sure to captivate.

'Full Moon over Glastonbury Tor' will be a treasured addition to any collection, infusing any space with both beauty and a touch of magic.
