Description Scanned in. And then seriously modified on the computer. 20+ Hours. I might come back and work with it more in a bit. I kind of was inspired by the song "Castles in the Air."

"And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That I’m tired of castles in the air.
I’ve got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair.

Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky,
A dream come true, I’ll live there till I die.
I’m asking you to say my last goodbye.
The love we knew ain’t worth another try."

-- Don McClean

very pretty.
think foreground needs a LITTLE more light, but the dusky thing is going pretty darn well!
goes very well with the song, too, heh.

well done,
and oh, congrats, UnA

You are not the first to tell me that it has a certain traditional quality. It started off as a rough color traditional that I decided to just go to town in digital ( original study is in my scraps). thanks again

LOL it is cute... well i have never heard it put that way... LOL but thanks. And it may be intersting living in the castle, but I would much rather leave the castle walls and breath in the night sky.
