Illustration Friday: Poem
It's been a little while, but I'm back with a new one for IF. I'm a fan of e.e. cummings, so I chose one of his poems for inspiration.
who knows if the moon's
a balloon,coming out of a keen city
in the sky--filled with pretty people?
(and if you and i should
get into it,if they
should take me and take you into their balloon,
why then
we'd go up higher with all the pretty people
than houses and steeples and clouds:
go sailing
away and away sailing into a keen
city which nobody's ever visited,where
always
it's
Spring)and everyone's
in love and flowers pick themselves

Wow, this illustration is great! I love the feeling of movement in it. Fits the poem quite nicely.
beautiful!
great colours.
verry fitting to the poem ...
well done
I read the poem and somehow thought you might have used the moon as part of your balloon.
Its a beautiful illustration. You have a talent with layering shades on shades.. and one has a sense of them up there... (depth)
lovely. the 'moon balloon' is perfect and I really like the shadows and negative space framing everything.
great work! beautiful scene :)
Great composition! The warm on cool really draws you in. I like the dreamlike and airy quality of it, too. Nice job.
love, love, love it. This might be my favorite painting ever. Yay!
Amazing work.
love ee cummings and the flow of your balloon in the wind
i like how you illustrated the poem...very nice.
Great colors and contrasts. Beautiful!
