life by the moon, in technicolor

2003
watercolor on arches cold press
11" x 14.5"

this is the painted version of "life by the moon", with some slight variation. if i were to compare the merits of each, i'd say i like the colorful, crisp quality of the painting, but the lines, curves and shadows of the drawing. i also like the addition of the fish in the painting, though i like the starry sky in the drawing. what do you think?
