Description

"...after the Moon Maiden put on her celestial garments she struck a musical instrument and began to dance, and while she danced and played she sang of her beautiful Palace of the Moon, where thirty monarchs ruled, fifteen in robes of white when that shining orb was full, and fifteen robed in black when the moon was waning. As she sang and played and danced she blessed Japan. The fisherman did not long enjoy this kindly exhibition of the Moon Lady's skill, for very soon her dainty feet ceased to tap upon the sand. She rose into the air, her beautiful wings gleaming against the pine trees and even against the blue sky itself. Up, up she went, still playing and singing, past the summits of the mountains, higher and higher, until her song was too faint to hear upon reaching the glorious Palace of the Moon." ********************************************** I certainly hope you enjoyed my illustrated journey of the "Moon Maiden". This is honestly one of the most satisfying artistic projects i've ever done. Be sure to view parts one and two if you haven't already. Thanks to everyone for your comments! *********************************************** The tale is taken from Japan and is known as the "Robe of Feathers" or "The Celestial Robe".

Wonderfully done. The colors and lighting make it look so dream-like. I like that it's part of a series derived from a folk tale you've obviously well-researched. Fantastic.

You are exactly what it says on the tin...Positively creative! This really is such beautifully presented art. Your attention to detail here is self evident and compliments the pretty character, admirably. This is absolutely breathtaking. You have a unique skill and talent which is hard, if not impossible to match. Magnificent! Steve :o)
