There’s a special kind of magic in the sky when a Blue Moon appears — a moment that feels suspended between the ordinary and the extraordinary. On 31 May, we’ll be treated to one of these rare lunar events, a sight that has inspired artists, storytellers, and dreamers for centuries.
At StavesArt, we’ve always believed that the places we love — cities, landscapes, and even imagined worlds — feel different under a special sky. A Blue Moon over Edinburgh’s skyline. A Blue Moon reflected in the waters of Leith. A Blue Moon casting silver light across the rooftops of Oxford or the ancient stones of York. These are the moments that turn familiar places into something almost mythical.
And of course, it’s impossible not to imagine how a Blue Moon might look over Hogwarts, or rising above the White City of Minas Tirith, or glowing softly across the rolling hills of Middle‑earth. Fantasy worlds and real cities alike feel richer, deeper, and more alive under a rare moon.
So tonight, wherever you are, take a moment to look up. Let the Blue Moon remind you of the stories that shape us, the places that ground us, and the worlds — real and imagined — that inspire our artwork every day.
A rare moon for a world full of wonder.
