ALT Front Cover for Acropolis Journal Issue Two. White background with blue/teal twined banner at the bottom and slim dark blue banner at the top. Acropolis Journal logo of eye and structure, plus text reading Issue Two beneath cover art by M Patrick Riggin titled Carolina Moonrise: features a painting of trees, blue/turquoise dark sky and moon. Artist statement: Plein air from a vacation near the Cape Fear River in North Carolina. It was mid-June and a full moon was shining through the hundred foot tall long-leaf pines. Southern ocean pines are interesting in the fact that they tower over any other vegetation around them, and stand on a bed of sand, but somehow hold on. The moonlight gave a silhouette to the forest around me, opening the canopy to a clear sky. From 2018.
