Fairytale Sky 10 by Amy Crook

Fairytale Sky 10 by Amy Crook

I haven’t added to this series in a while, but sometimes you just want to paint swirly clouds and a big, bright moon.

I was watching Mulan the other day, and I was inspired by the beautiful way the artists rendered smoke in that movie. I’m still wembling about what to do with the sky in another work in progress, so this little painting let me explore both ideas.

I think the result is lovely, don’t you?

Above, you can see the moon up close, its softly glowing face full of beautiful texture from the paper. Below, the piece has been put in a tiny frame, perfect to secret in a bookshelf, display on a desk, or add to an array of other art.
