another late night painting
it's 1.45am
the moon tonight was hidden from view
this left me wanting for her
the Zodiac sign Cancer is a water sign ruled by the moon
being Cancerian i very much feel her presence
and tonight sense her absence
therefore painting her in my sky instead

Ohhhh...this is so beautiful...melodic and delicate and just all you PG...I love it !!!
love it..........the movement ....everything.....gorgeous.
PG, another truly beautiful watercolour (of your ?"moon series").. The title adds to the lyrical visual message of the painting too. Sea/watercolour, and transparency/sky, the new moon... subtle silvery, in Earth-shine.
The vignetting, the way you have left the background paper untouched around the figure, works well i feel, and doesn't detract from the subtle luminous blues of the dress nor from the warm colours of the hair. The Moon has deft soft blending and harmonising of these two main colours (like keys in music), allowing them the *freedom to roam within/among the circle of the moon*. The deliberate free use of backruns and non-interference with the *spontaneous happenings of watercolour* in this moon-circle works very well imo, even subtly suggestive of the moon's 'seas' and craters. ...yet another beautiful and very lyrical watercolour!
Best wishes,
wayne

I love it, so whimsical.
Vesna, Thank you so very much. You are always here in support and with your kind praise. Will be over to see what has been happening your way as soon as I can. Ciao.
Wendy, Thank you for your thoughts.
Wayne, You are always so generous with your comments and do not know where to begin to thank you for this and the time you take to let me know your thoughts. It is very much appreciated as you know.
There are few more of these on the way, and as your comments find me at a loss, so too with what to call this series - your suggestion here with the word ‘Moon’ perhaps would be a good start.
Your observation is ‘spot on’ re the Moon with the two main colours being utilized there, and your phrasing much like music itself ”blending and harmonising of these two main colours (like keys in music), allowing them the *freedom to roam within/among the circle of the moon*.” is a lovely ‘word-picture’.
I have felt with this series a ‘tuning into’ as you have put it - these spontaneous happenings of watercolour and are feeling more at ease it seems with it *to do its own thing*.
Again, thank you
Shine

Oh, another fine example of your work Patricia.
Like the previous one, I really like the “flow” in this one.
A dreamy female silhouette poignant and delicate-a lovely creation Patricia.
Gorgeous Patricia…I like the softness and the colors
Superb! Beautiful, delicate style.
I’m a cancer too.
A beautiful interpretation of your cosmic sign …delicate and etherial.
