This is a digitally painted version of another of my pieces: [link]

This past year (2008) three of my relatives passed away, so this is kind of a tribute to them. I used the yellow flowers (a bright and cheery colour) and the dusk sky ("red sky at night, shepherd's delight") to symbolise hope and happiness for the future.

I wanted to speedpaint this so I set myself 5 hours to complete it; I took about 5 hours and 10 minutes in the end.

I used Corel Painter X and my Trust graphics tablet.

I entered this into the "A picture paints a thousand words" contest [link] which was hosted by xxsweetdangerxx.
