Description PLEASE FULLVIEW

Everytime I look up to the sky and see the sun breaking through the clouds, making them force to part, I want to be one of the rays falling to the ground and lighten everything up.

This painting was quite a good self therapy. Even though I always avoid to paint clouds, I made them be one of the main central parts of this image.
I'm quite happy how they turned out and even though I made random brush strokes (as always when I paint clouds), they seem to look better than any other attempt in the past.

Colours definately make more happy. It is weird that I actually mostly use subtle colours in my pictures even though I'm a very colourful person myself in real life and how I behave.

I think as the light breaks through those clouds, I finally broke the barrier of using multiple colours in a picture...

The plant spirit is awakening a dead tree in this picture. I think I subconsciously drew myself as the tree which awakes from the long sleep in darkness.

I somehow feel so much better now.

This is gorgeous. The color and the movement in the clouds and beautifully highlighted details in the plant work together to create an awesome piece!

I understand how you feel. I have a bad habit of shying away from using vibrant colors in my pieces (oftentimes opting to go with just B@W) This has inspired me to try it out and see what comes to pass!

I felt as if i was there looking at this beautiful sky you painted, it made me remind when i was a kid and i used to lay down on the grass and watch the clouds pass. Grass on my feet and the wind slipping between my fingers... good times. Thank you.

Such a beautiful and touching piece! I love how even with the presence of the moon, the sun shines throw to help the plant spirit awaken the dead tree. Such beautiful colors and detail, as well as the wonderful story to go along with it make this piece simply amazing!

Great pic! It's got an amazing impact just from the thumbnail. What I like about it is how you've done the clouds so they're billowing like fabric. Well done!

Forest-of-Blades [2009-04-08 16:28:28 +0000 UTC]

That's majestic! The clouds are wonderful, both on the frontside and in the depth surrounding the moon.
However, there's still something I think is a bit sad : I feel all the sunrays should have been perpendicular to the lower part of the sky (which is apropriately round, but there are a few rays that seem to point in strange directions).
