Description Here's a cool experiment that I did. This is two images- The whole left side is a watercolor/acrylic painting that I made with complimentary colors on her hair and the background in the reflection.

On the right side is the same painting, but I simply inverted the whole background and her hair (plus flipped it).

I reeeaaaaally liked both versions so I put them together to see the cool effects and the color combos.

Hmm, very interesting. It's sort of darker than what I imagined (although it fits on the darker versions).

Well the song at it's core, is about letting go of our egos as a species. That we as humans are basically like the moon. We are simply reflectors, the moon a reflector of light, humans a reflector of information. I mean that probably isn't what you had in mind with your piece, but I think that the instrumental fits more than the lyrical part.

Naw, I never had a certain idea for it (or them). I like interpretations since everyone sees things differently.

You know what, the more I think of it, the more I think Reflection is the song. Because your piece, could be seen as one giant reflection. I don't think theirs a place where the source of the reflection is. In other words, the girl doesn't exist in the work; she's just a reflection. You can't be certain where the girl is, because she isn't there. I hope that makes sense, I tried to make it as clear as I could.

This is a very curious picture. There's a mysterious quality to it - an emotion that I can't quite pinpoint.

I'm a fan of the hair, though.

That's good. I like to interpret the bizarre feel of pictures I imagine.   If that makes sense.

Yesss hair!

This is pretty cool! It looks like the four seasons for some reason. The colors mesh and contrast really well.

I really like how the original reflection looks like a lighter version of the first in the inverted
And how the inverted reflection looks like a darker version of the first in original
what i said was probably confusing but oh well
Both indeed look real cool~

Toivoshi In reply to RainfoxArts [2015-05-10 15:48:19 +0000 UTC]

Made sense to me! It's like different dimensions of the same world or something.

Thanks a bunch~
