The lilies would not be so brightly illuminated in the night...
Also, the moon positioned dead center and behind them emphasizes the unrealistic lighting...I'd suggest eliminating it, and just titling this "Lilies..."

awesome.. my fav..

Thanks for your comments.
Mossy, unfortunately the original image had entirely different colours - more subtle and in earthly-like tones. The problem is that I created the image in CMYK mode instead of RGB, but I discovered it after I had finished painting it. The result is the bright colours.
If you know how I can convert from CMYK to RGB without colour loss please let me know.

I Love the look of this. Great Job author!

Author, I think if you go into Menu->Image->Mode and then choose RGB and flatten the layers it if it asks you to, then you should be able to convert it to RGB with just a slight variation in colour. CMYK colours definitely do not view well on screen. Hope it works out, GL.

Really nice flowera, just not sure on the background. The moon is way to dominant and a little to centered for me.

I like this style. Its very bold. But I have to agree about the moon. It detracts from your wonderful flowers. Maybe if you move it off to the right a little a make it not so bright, It would allow your flowers to show off more.

Thank you all for your suggestions. Mad, I will try this and hope it will come out better.
Also, I will try to do something with the moon.

Beautiful colors. Nice contrast here!

Love it!

To late to change it but I really see no problem with the moon itself, but I would dim the contrast on it so it is not so bright.

beautiful

Very Nice.......G/L Author.

so, what useless thing does it do?

I was going to let you guys guess but one of the concepts would be that it blows bubbles whenever it detects a balloon nearby

Nice silhouette style, An outlined building coming from the black center of the planet tapering down to earth would have really set this off. g.l.

very interesting work author...love the world monuments idea...gl

I FEEL IT! This is FANTASTIC!!!

Beautiful entry! And such a great song Like creativefreedom said: I can feel it ))

Thankyou...

This is KILER! Talk about catching a mood. I listened to video and then had another look at your painting. It saddens me greatly that the song states the problem perfectly and then looks for an answer from some invisible guy in the sky. The answer is found within my friend. When you were painting this I know you could feel exactly what I am talking about. That creative power that is present whenever we are doing something as Artists is something we tap into I believe. It doesnt know a gender or skin color. It recognises no geographical borders or faulty belief system. It just IS. And if all that energy is available and runs through all of us then in my mind we truly are all One.
THAT is why I flat "get off" on encouraging others to pursue art. I am helping others to find what I KNOW to be true.
I babble, but that just means you moved me!
Looking at your painting once more I am saddened. What I see is people all over the world killing eachother in the name of "God" and then looking to that same "God" for answers. If there is such a thing as evil then surely that scenario qualifys.
Man, Im gonna get a lot of crap for this I am sure but I am sure it will be worth it to the extent you have moved me Author.WTG! THAT is what Art is all about.

Nice work! GL!

Somehow I had a hunch it was you

Thanks for your comment Gotmeamuse...I wont give you crap...we all have our views in life....Well...we agree to an extent...but I do have a wonderful relationship with God and I live with a peace that passes all understanding. I know it comes from within....I believe God created us to seek that Truth and we have the beautiful creative gifts to use such as in our artwork...I respect your passion and I hope you respect mine...It is what I know to be true and real for my own life. ....but the Love is when one makes a difference in a hurting persons life...we all have a choice to Love.

AMEN!

Wow! Yet again you surprise me! Such a bold choice of color! Your use of red is fantastic.
I love how music and art really inspire each other...the way each person views lyrics and puts them to an image....and its ironic that faith was brought into this because my first thoughts were of the incredible political vibe I got from it right away. They say politics and religion are 2 subjects that cause the most debate...and most people find it taboo to speak of either with even their closest friends. You managed to cross that barrier. And most gracefully I might add.
Acrylic?

Thankyou Jadedink....it is great to hear what people see in others work...and yes it is acrylic.

the hands are deadly.. you should be very proud (the rest would be ego biscuits and let's face it, those hands are AWESOME!!!

Fantastic piece of work author...well done

Thankyou erathion and Drivenslush!

Yeah, spectacular hands! I bow before your hand painting superiority. Mine usually look like sausages.

LOL.....hahaha....sausages...you are so funny.

Really nicely done. The handshake is so beautifully done. Great composition.

its beautiful

very nice work author...gl

Love this. Could you message me? Would love to see if you would allow me to use this image in an Earth Day march here in Michigan. Thanks!
