    The blue is so spectacular. This must be a true labour of love! :)) JD

  • Foxfires replied

    Thank you so much John!! And it was indeed. :) After long weeks of really gruelling things happening at my husband’s workplace, I figured if I couldn’t physically take him away on a far-away escape, I could at least give him an image to daydream on. :)

  • mimi yoon

    mimi yoon

    amazingly dreamy piece… and i’ve been trying to figure out if it’s a painting or a photo manipulation… i figure from reading previous comments and replies that it is a digital painting… is it? it is gorgeous… and the blue… and the reflection of lanterns in the water… magical… : )

  • Foxfires replied

    Thank you so much Mimi! It is actually a bit of everything! Digital Mixed Media would probably be the best way to describe it. I used a stock picture of the boat which was a daylight shot. I then found pictures of a bay in Vietnam which intrigued me, and where these kinds of boats are often found. I loved the way the mountains plunged all the way to the sea. So, once I had these key elements, I then had to transform it into a night shot, and paint all the details in by hand. Temple towers, lanterns, reflections, water ripples, textures, highlights of how the sky reflects around the boat in the water…and so on. The stars were created with the help of a star brush that helped me duplicate them en masse. I think this piece took me about eight hours to complete. :)

    So you see, it’s difficult to really catagorize! But oh so fun to create. I am so thrilled at the response it is getting!

  • mimi yoon

    mimi yoon

    thank you so much for the detailed explanation, aimee… your entire portfolio is mezmerizing and magical… this one, i followed the amazing blue and the reflection of the latern light in the water…. : )

    Look at all those stars. We don’t get stars in the city so much, and I don’t get out to the bush so much, so maybe I’ll just stare at this when I want to see so many beautiful little twinkling lights.
