A unicorn under the stars and moon.

What I ended up being really happy with, that unfortunately you can't really fully appreciate in an on-screen reproduction, is the way the metallic powder integrated with the colors. The white in the sky was painted on top, so that has a flat tone, but at certain angles, the forest and trees glow with a golden texture.

If you were a photographer I would say your work is usually very crisp and fine grained. This one is like a high-grain photograph, with quite a different character. I like it.

I absolutely adore the blues and blacks in this picture the whole scene is l0ovely, I am just not fond of unicorns, but that's just my personal problem, other than that it is a very well made well composed picture

Wow, this is really different in terms of style and content. Well, maybe not content. You just paint the content differently, or seem to, compared to your usual works.

And together...

When the last eagle flies over the last crumbling mountain
And the last lion roars at the last dusty fountain
In the shadow of the forest though she may be old and worn
They will stare unbelieving at the last unicorn

When the first breath of winter through the flowers is icing
And you look to the north and a pale moon is rising
And it seems like all is dying and would leave the world to mourn
In the distance hear the laughter of the last unicorn

I'm alive, I'm alive

When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning
And the future has passed without even a last desperate warning
Then look into the sky where through the clouds a path is torn
Look and see her how she sparkles, it's the last unicorn

I'm alive, I'm alive

Such a good movie with great music. And a good book. Now I'm tempted to go find my DVD of it and watch it....hmmm

hehehe, I just did that with my little adopted niece and nephew... I was actually pleasantly surprised when they didn't complain at the length and slow action.
