New Artwork – Elemental Dancer: Water and Sun

This is my most recent completed artwork, which I started last year. As often happens with projects like this, the core drawing in ink came together quickly, and a portion of the color as well (via Prismacolors, my preferred medium) but then I ran into a color conundrum. The “Sun” portion of this drawing is based on a composite photo of the surface of the sun over an extended time-frame, and the version of this photo that I saw was very sepia in tone, which was not working well with the blue of the water. So I set it aside for a while, and then came back to it only recently to add in a bit more orange to contrast with the blue, and finalize the blending. Limited edition prints of this piece will soon be available at my Etsy shop (I just visited the printer with this today). I will also have some prints of this available with me at my booth at Unifier Festival next weekend.
