AnMal

for the frame.

Molly - thank you

erisian: thank you ! you know my issues with the frame, though - can we please make that four flowers less?

It's up to you what you do with the four flowers AnMal but I'm not taking them back.

It was well worth the wait... as you and AnMal have already done the whole flowers thing, I will just make a small observation. I like the addition of the toadstools/mushroom in front of the fairy, because I felt something was needed in that area after the last WIP was posted.
Another quality piece of work done in your unique style!

Thank you very much fluffy.

This makes me wanna finish my Mandisa picture so I can make a fantasy scene!
Dunno if I'll ever get there but eh, oh well. xD

Very pretty! And lovely knot-work from AnMal.
Did you use the sparkle brush and super nova filter for the light/magic/powers illuminating from her hands?

Very nice Erisian. Like the border too.

Thank you both.


Yep! That's exactly how I did it and, of course, I colourised the supernova layer to make it gold.

I was just looking at this work of art again and I think you added the toad stools and the sparkles below the lantern since I last saw it.
Fluffy was right, I also think those last touches made this complete.
Aris, you are going to have to do more of this kind or art... it suits you and you are very good, don't ever doubt that. KUDO's

The toadstools and sparkles were there Molly. The only thing that changed is AnMal improved the frame a little. This was a little different to my usual style because I worked in an impressionistic way at first, just using blobs of light and minimal detail. I surprised myself with this - it came out much better than expected and AnMal's frame and knotwork really add the finishing touches. Thank you Molly.

I guess we were seeing things molly?!?

lol, I think you are right. Now I don't have to worry that dementia is kicking in.

That's why they're called magic mushrooms. Now you see them, now you don't.

Okay, Mr oddddd.

Molly said "since I last saw it." The last time Molly saw it was just after I had posted the finished painting which had the toadstools. She wasn't referring to the WIP that you have shown.

This is a scaled down version of the one Molly saw originally.

I am afraid so Eris. The last pic I saw before seeing the final one had no sparkles from the lantern and no toad stools. Today is the first time I saw it with these added.
Anyway, not important.

It's not Molly - look again. AnMal will vouch for me that I haven't touched the finished painting since I first posted it and fluffybunny also saw the first finished version before I replaced it and commented that she was glad I had included the toadstools.

molly: the last version you saw may not have been the last version you remember - happens to me all the time, i blame it on my age.

I blame mistakes on being too innocent and blonde...We all got a scapegoat!

Ooh this came out great! This has to be my new favorite of yours.
