Artist's Comments

**This painting is featured in my "Waking Dreams" 2010 Art Calendar, now available at my online store: [link]

Meet my Abby. In addition to being a sweet human being, she's been a gracious friend and classmate who, as my glassblowing partner, even trusted me to not incinerate her. She'll be graduating this fall--they grow up so fast!--and since I was due for another portrait...

The color scheme turned out much more fanciful than intended, but I'm not complaining. I had planned on learning to properly paint a moon-lit red-head (which Abby is), but the muse had other, better ideas. As for said idea, I've often wondered wistfully what it would be like to catch a falling star. When I came across a picture of Abby in this pose, I knew exactly what to do and wish. May graduated life be kind to and incredible for you, Abby!

Note: This deviation replaces the original. The quality of the first photo was so bad, I thought it better to make a completely new entry to give this piece a shot at the attention I feel it deserves:) To the few of you who posted your comments the first time: Thank you! I do and did appreciate your thoughts.

Prints, mugs, and more are also available at my Cafepress store! Visit Arden's Miscellany here [link]

None of my images are to be used without express written permission. Woe to any who choose to steal, for so mighty is my art wrath, not even I know its bounds.

Thank you!:) All the layering involved sometimes seems tedious in the moment, but the end product always makes it worth it:)
