Very well done

Your use of color, light and shodow are wonderful and I wold love to see this under ultraviolet lights.

I love that you are taking such care with the directioanlity of your bursh storkes. It dose so help to set the mood as much as the color chooses.

A very strong and expressive image.

I she a seaker who has found a truser of gift after a long quist. It is a very bright in this very dark world. And I go back to the keeper of magic to so often appears in many of the old tails and songs.

How unexpected! Black light is a very unusual choice in medium (or perhaps it's more of an environment choice...?), but either way that was a beautifully pitched curve ball. It grants an eerie quality to the piece that really accentuates a certain kind of emotional response.
The texture of the brushstrokes use the lighting to the best possible effect, and deliver a gritty sensation that one would associate with the dark, almost arcane, atmosphere.
Bumping the little figure just a little tiny bit to the side effectively keeps away the stagnant bug, especially in combination with the movement implied by the twisting limbs of the tree. These also help shift the eye from the round moon to the round light in the arms of the figure.
The colors are surprisingly saturated and contrast beautifully, helping achieve the dark mysterious feel.

Thank you for sharing!

what does this image say to you?

an open mind is wonderful, except for how everyone tries to put something into it

Wonderfully atmospheric
:iconstillanartistat50:
The person in the painting feels surrounded by negativity... maybe even darkness or evil. But there is a sense of hope, or relief, on the horizon; that is growing from within themselves....

What an interesting contrast to the other version of this! It's amazing how simply shifting colors creates an entirely different mood. This piece feels so much... lonelier than its sister image. There is a coolness to this work that suggests more isolation.

I love what you've done with the contrasting images! Gorgeous -- both of them!

thank you :D

actually, they're the same image. one is lit under black light, one under natural...

i plan to do something like this for my next live paint, though i need a LOT more practice...

Oh, wonderful! It has an entirely different look/feel under black light!

Can't wait to see what you create in your next live paint -- the whole idea of that sounds completely amazing! Thanks, as always, for sharing your work!!
