Artist's Comments

For =Barbiedoll's Spirit of the Night contest. Please full view, otherwise it looks like crap.

I know that the wave seems to come out of nowhere, with no boat in sight, or any sign of other waves. But I thought it was fitting for a part of what I was going for - the cause of the wave is a mystery, just as the night is mysterious. Also, night also gives me a feel of excitement, as well as calmness and peace. I hope that this piece sets about a little bit of all of those feelings.

calmness and peace is definitely reflective in the wave. I didn't see the wave as coming out of nowhere though, and it doesn't look out of place either. It's a rather well done piece. reminds me a lot of a California beach in the nighttime.

Oooh I think it's lovely! The wave looks fine to me--it could be just the wind or tide bringing it in. :floating: I love that this doesn't have a completely photo-realistic quality to it, like in the moon's shape or the little stars in the sky. It makes this more whimsical, like she's stepping out of reality into some kind of fantasy picture. XD I hearts! Also, the colors remind me so much of you. :hug: MWAH!

The fact that the color reminds you of me, makes me smile. And yes, I was definitely going for a whimsical sort of thing with the stars. As for the moon, it actually is realistic. I mean, obviously in this image, it adds to the whimsical feel, but it's actually a stock photo of an eclipse.

I'm glad this like this!
