Thanks! I was a bit worried about smudging up all that detail, but I had to do it if I wanted it to look ethereal. Glad to hear it worked in the end!

Thank you! :D
Lighting is always tricky - still not sure I got this completely right, but your comment is very encouraging! :)
Glad to hear that the painting is 'speaking' to you - I was rather hoping it'd do just that, of course, but some paintings are stubbornly mute - and you never know until you unleash it onto the world!
I LOVES those colours. :D Seriously. The happiest part was globbing on the blue paint at the very beginning! glee
Those trees took quite a long time and while I didn't exactly hate them, I sure wished for them to be done soon...so, 'tis marvellous that you like them - means that the work was not in vain! :D
Thank you for the lovely comment! I'm glad you like the painting. I certainly enjoyed painting it. :)

Thank you!
I tell ya, if you'd worried about detail, the piece wouldn't be as relaxing. The colors and light remind me of sitting in the shade after being out in the sun for a while.
It's also cool how you first notice the craggy, sharp trees, and then furhter down is all the soft grass and flowers, the sleeping dragon...
Very pretty. :) And not generic-pretty, either.
