RE: Moonbathing

in #art7 years ago

Relishable! The use of a colder palette on the skin seems to suggest something that is a bit out of time- but at the same time somehow at odds with pre-modern conceptions of form and character. This painting seems to have little to do with the Greeks or the Romans but still captures that Dionysian or perhaps Kykeonian spirit. There's some eternal magic that you've committed to canvas without making an overbearing appeal to the Renaissance. It's as though the image is taken from a world where the European Dark Ages didn't occur. The fact that it is entilted, "Moonbathing" only adds to this appeal. Great work!

Thank you @kaimarmalade! Yes there is echo of a more classical time. Moonlight is special.
