Illustration Friday: Layer


After a seemingly endless dark day, the heavy layer of storm clouds were beginning to drift away.
Happily reunited, mother and baby basked in the glowing promise of a new day.

For Illustration Friday: layer
acrylic on canvas 6"x12"

    Love it Lolo!!!
    And I like the use of color and the perspective---seen a lot of after-storm shadows that go on and on....
    Brava!

    XXOO~~♥

    I like the sun effect here and the pop of the pachyderms...

    This is so beautiful! The background makes me want to walk directly into it! Wow! Lol! Your cat banner looks just like the fat cat, name Oscar who rules the humans in my house! Your colors and depth are always so rich and beautiful. Double Wow again!

    when i enlarged it and could see the texture of the canvas i feel in love with this painting even more.

    lo,you are remarkable. you create themes and images and metaphors and inspirations and then you have the talent to execute them. i think this painting is a prime example of how good you really are: the depth, the layers, the shadows, and the love.

    speaking of the love, i has it for you friend. ♥

    Most layers of Illustration Friday are Earth Layers. Your painting allows us to dwell on cloud layers. Very nice!

    Wow! I love this, Lo. It has some quality of a woodcut to it - and I love the reflection in the water. Gorgeous work! xox Pam

    You KNOW I am a particular lover of Twilight Dusky colours - but - you have completely captured a beguiling Dawn.... I feel the warmth of the just-rising sun - and of course, the love between Mother and Baby.

    Once again, I love how you interpreted "the theme"!

    Love,

    ♥ LS ♥

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhh! I love this, love this, love this! My goodness, they are so beautiful and the elongated reflection is fantastic. And the sunset! Wow, what an exceptional painting.

    I know what you mean. I think if I had a Ding Dong today, I'd be sorely disappointed. But the memories are still delicious. :)
