Sliver... not silver but the moon is painted silver because it would be just silly to have a gold moon...now wouldn't it?
This is number three in my subject of fairy ladies in really cool dresses. I painted this one in purples and payne's gray because I loved the dreamy look I got with number two, By Invitation Only. However, the composition was getting too boring so I added some really severe drips to convey more emotion. With her back turned away from the audience, I felt there needed to be more going on with the environment around her... like an emerging storm.
This is also my first time painting iris. I like them but I don't. I think I need to work on the plant part a little more. They still look a little stiff.
Thanxx. I love every shade of purple, it's energized without being obtrusive. The pose, because she's turned away, I feel, makes the eye really focus on her body language.
