A wonderful piece that perfectly captures the feeling of walking through the woods at night in winter where the only thing you can hear are your own footsteps in the snow.

I love the fluorescent light fall you managed to recreate on this canvas. Very well done.

Thank you. It's exaggerated, of course. In real life the moon is never actually that bright but I wanted it to look like the mist was really absorbing the moonlight, illuminating it even more for impact and mood.

That's the joy of art; you cab exaggerate as much as you want.

Truly beautiful!Β  Surreal as always, but very well-done!

...Is that meant to be a pensive neanderthal on the left?

Tolkyes In reply to LookOutHereComesTom [2017-02-16 02:58:21 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. Is the pensive neanderthal in the ice or ruins? People do see faces in my imagery but it's usually not intentional.

I like the resemblance between mushrooms and jellyfish.

Magical and beautiful! The ruin is amazingly detailed. Love the toadstools and sundial too.

Thank you, Tara. I wanted to feature objects similar in appearance.
The sundial is shaped somewhat like a toadstool. Certain glowing jellyfish resemble glowing mushrooms, too.

Thank you. This is the effect I usually go for in my paintings- other worldly yet familiar.
