A while back I wrote a blog about starting to learn about digital painting, a new medium for me. In July I completed my first fully digital painting, Lady of Stars. (ooh, better qualify that...what I mean is this is my first completed digital painting after several weeks of experiments and doodlings learning how to control my digital pen tablet!) It wasn't easy, I had to learn a lot of new things and was often saved from confusion by my teenage son - young folk seem to understand technology more easily than I! I did enjoy it, but traditional media are still my favourite. While I was working on this image I woke one night thinking there was a pale ghostly form standing next to my bed, but it was probably a dream... I made up a short description to go with her.
"There is a planet many light years distant which orbits a blue-white sun. The life forms which inhabit the planet are composed of a crystalline material like spun glass but flexible, and because gravity is weak on the planet many of them grow extenuated in form."
Suzanne, I think this is stunning! Can't believe it's your first!!! Well done :)
