Fireworks

Last #digitalart for the Teens, happy #newyear ! This is a #fireworks #painting in honor of the millions of photos of rockets-red-glaring that will be posted tonight and tomorrow. The composition started as a nod to #caspardavidfriedrich , *the* #german #painter of the #romance era. I then changed the gotterdammerung effect he used so well of the sunset into #night as I wanted to showcase the gnarly #dead #tree against the #moon – but that was boring, so I added a #woman and her #cat / #kitten – but that was boring too! I thought of fireworks, but that was not my style, and so pedestrian. So, I channeled #hplovecraft (my fav.) and the #cthulhu #mythos to add a different kind of explosive anticipation. #digital #illustration #render #artist
