It is said that to be touched by the moon's rays in slumber is to court lunacy. I look up at the moon on a still night, and feel that spiderweb trailing of silver light across my face. No heat like the caress of the sun. No sign of that ghostly trailing of light except what my imagination fills. A peace steals across the room, the stillness of meditation, of delving down within.

I think this is instantly my favorite painting of you. The blues and purples are so vibrant and you really captured that moonlight feel here. It almost comes to live!

Thanks so much for doing this amazing tutorial. I think I'll give watercolours another go with your guidance ^^

You are such an amazing inspiration, thank you so much for that! :hug:

You really know how to capture detail, you know that? Your pictures have so much to them that one could gaze into them for hours on end, literally! Truly amazing, and beautiful, the moon is the best part.

It is also said that bathing in the moon's rays purifies one's soul and lightens the shadows within.
I love your work :aww:

The moon tells me a secret. My confidant.
As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own.
A million light reflections pass over me
It's source is bright and endless.
:icondancingwithshadows:
My jaw actually physically dropped when I saw this :o

LOVE LOVE LOVE the colours :heart:
