INSECT/Old Friends

If I were a moth, this is where I'd be, with my
sweet old friend, by the deep, cold, sea.

Thanks for the comments. What medium are you using. It looks like pastel/watercolor mix. Please keep it up. Your work is like eye nectar.

It's so dream like and full of under water movement, a bit scary, too. Great work and colours. Interesting idea, deep blue sea and insect.

This is beautiful! Who ever thought moths could be so unique and pretty? LOVE mysteriousness of your piece as well! Awesome!

This is dreamy and surreal. Simply great.

Heartful said...

This reminds me of a fairytale, dreamy but a touch dark. I like that slightly dark streak that runs through your work, it gives it depth and originality.

Dreamy. That is what I thought. Mystical and dreamy. Lily.

Also enjoy your second tea picture below. Hilarious. so much for quiet time!

Two years.
