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.
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. ♥ kj
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"!
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. :)
Oh wow no one like you can bring things back to the essence. Like this painting, Not too much color not too much going on not too many words everything is just enough, just perfect!!!!
This is a place where I share my art and my heart. I hope something I create resonates with you in some positive way, whether it be my images, my words or both.
I'm always grateful for your visits and your comments.
If you have time, please browse "Find me here too!" to see more of my art and photos.

Brava!

Most layers of Illustration Friday are Earth Layers. Your painting allows us to dwell on cloud layers. Very nice!
Paula
Delightful - I love the colours you've used. Tender little image!
Heartwarming scene so well captured by you. Lovely.
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
No need for words......
Chapeau Madame Lolo....
