March has arrived bringing beautiful blue skies and birdsong.
Wow.. what a wonderful response to the giveaway! If you haven't already entered you have bags of time left. I will choose a winner out of the hat, sometime on Sunday. (Make sure you leave your comment on the giveaway post)
I said I'd show you the painting that I have been working on, so thats what I'm back here today to do....
After painting the picture 'Clothed in Silver' (The white fox) I decided to do a picture to accompany it. Along the same theme. I planned the picture here in my sketchbook where it has been sat patiently waiting it's turn to be created into a painting on canvas.
'Wearing A Robe Of Gold'
I have included 'my moth' and tried to capture the same light that was glowing on the morning when I let it fly to freedom.
This will be available to buy as a print in my Etsy shop soon.
I also did this little 15x15 cms painting yesterday..
' Mothlight'
Right, I'm off to paint two large owl hangers now.

oh how I love the moth painting...the colours are wonderful....
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and powerful piece. The quality of the painting is so wonderful as well, the light the details... everything... just exquisite! A perfect partner to your magical luna fox. Your art always touches me, I love your blog so much.
ReplyDeleteAnd the moths have enchanted you as well:)I found a crysalis just lying in the middle of the road a couple of weeks ago.It had spent all night on the frosted tarmac. I had no idea where it had fallen from so took it inside. It is now safe in a cool place, and I await to see what will emerge:) From the size of it I think it is some kind of Hawkmoth. Perhaps an Elephant Hawkmoth which seem to abound on the island... I have my fingers crossed :)
love both paintings very much, they made my heart leap with wonder :o)
ReplyDeletewishing you a wonderful and magical week xxx
