Illofriday....reflection...
whoa! dont reset your computer screens, chacha has actually posted an illofriday ON TIME. and early!!! although i did cheat a bit. i had this one for a while now, and ive been just waiting to be able to use it for one of the topics. this one fit it perfectly, along with helping you to uncover a more serious artistic side to me. however, i did have a little help on this one, but only in what steps to take next. this one was done a few years back in an awesome art class i took over the summer with my little sister. the teacher we had was so crazy and soo much fun. she was really open minded and did permanent makeup for a career aside from her painting. how kool is that?!? but she taught me how to do this wonderful landscape using the dreaded medium i try to stray away from......watercolor!! and i must say im very proud of this one seeing as how it was actually completed and looked like an actual scene. this is one of 2 landscapes that i completed using watercolors, and probably the last 2 landscapes i will complete using watercolors. im sure depending on the topics of illofridays future, i might pop out the watercolors for a more serious attempt and i might just even be happy with outcome. so i hope you guys give me some good criticism on this one. enjoy.

Love seeing the blown up versions of your work. This IS serious ... doesn't look like a Chacha at all - except for that shimmer of light across the reflection. Which must mean you are happy to reflect on this artwork and when you did it. Which means it is an awsome work indeed :)

Very pretty! And such a departure from your other work...I hope you'll start doing more watercolor. This one is lovely...so tranquil and soft.

im so glad to be getting positive feedback on this one. although im very proud of it, it is a step on the other side of the fence in regards to my style.
thank you everyone! :)

i've got some more positive feedback for ya, sweets... this is beautiful, so serene and peaceful... and the reflection really is the coolest thing about it since you can interpret it so many different ways (listen to me trying to sound like an art critic harharharhar... =) anyway, i don't know why you dislike watercolor so much, chach, since you appear to be so good at it... this is really lovely - one of my favorites that you've done... you should put these up early every week!

Don't be scared chacha! Go with it!
Experiment with watercolours, it is a hard medium. The reflection is great, I would say one thing and that maybe reflect the moon too? just a thought.
Nicely done.
