The final piece deviated a bit from the original sketch. What I had in mind at the start was to have the ground cut away as in Inner Workings, with the roots entwined into the cogs of a contrasting gold color. But by the time I had worked my way down to the lower foreground, I was liking the really striking contrast of the glow from inside the tree, to the deep blues surrounding. And how the glow spilled out in a path towards the girl. I didn't want to disrupt that by filling the lower right with bright gold and light. So I tried to make it more subtle instead.
One evening a while back, Claire was cuddling on top of me, with her ear pressed to my chest. She was quiet a long time, and I thought she had fallen asleep, but suddenly she looked up and said, "Tick tock tick tock." I explained to her her that was my heartbeat she was hearing, not a clock.

Wow, this is beautiful. I love the blues. Truly spectacular. Please keep going with this series, it is amazing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous... I love the series and the parallels you draw between organics and mechanics; especially how you show that they are quietly nestled within each other. It certainly gives you something to think about. :)
