ink/watercolor/caran d'arche/golden paint 5"x7"The first thing I thought of on this beautiful summer's day when I heard IF's prompt -
match... was the story of the little match girl. No idea why. But here is my version I whipped up just for this, today. She is all a-flame with her last three matches glowing and the sky opening up for her. Too wintery for you? Yeah ... me too. So I showed another match here ...
Go see more "matches" at Illustration Friday.
That is beautiful!!! I love the mood and the colors and idea. :)

ReplyDeletenice atmosphere! it draws me into the picture =) good job
ReplyDeleteyes, great atmosphere. mooning over that blue moon!
ReplyDeleteI thought of the the little match girl too, but the weather here in London is rather gloomy...your painting though is anything but. I love it. Yes, it's melancholic, but that gold is so warming.
ReplyDeleteI especially like how the blue moon compliments the orange flame.
ReplyDeleteIt may be wintery but it is just glowing.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of cozy winter nights curled up with a good book.
Susan, I really like this one, not too wintery for me, as it is 104 again today in Dallas. :-)
ReplyDeleteTravel safe.
