Was this done with ink?

Thanks. I remember the first time it happened. I called my wife and we went to emergency care. The doctor there was pretty calm, and gave me some articles he printed out explaining opthalmic migraines. I was pretty nervous, because that first time it was scary. I thought I was having something like a stroke.

Color is violet, it is watercolor paint in tubes. I was not thinking of amethyst when I painted this. But I like that you saw that. I appreciate hearing that.

I get opthalmic migraines once in a while. This isn't from that. My opthalmic migraine give me a glitter silver effect in the lower third of me vision, and I cannot see the very center, so reading is difficult. This is more of stuff I see when I close my eyes, often at night when I'm going to bed. This was just something I saw closing eyes when I was chilling. Might be related to the opthalmic migraine, but not a full blown one. I can't really say when color it was, but I thought purple would look good.

 

this is a variation on the "what I see when I close my eyes" pieces I've made (a few posted about 4 months ago), I altered the actual color to purple

I think the wings are great, very well done.

Mostly, what you would like it to be. It you like a cobblestone street, that's good. Abstract is good too. For me, I was creating it from something I see when I close my eyes at night to go to sleep. But, it is too light, and there was going to be more darker gray added to the painting. I liked it at this point and decided to leave this, and I'll create another like it with the darker elements added. That's why it is "1 of ", because I'll make at least one more like this and it will be 1 of 2 or maybe more.

Didn't quite work out how I was thinking, maybe a little more experimenting on this, and start over on a fresh paper.

I wouldn't say you're other wet works aren't good but I'll agree this is better. Thanks for sharing.

It is not.

Did a lot of color mixing experimenting.

The hair wetness looks good, but I think the drops on the face don't quite look like water drops (but, how to do this is way beyond my know-how).

My wife keeps saying my painting of the tree in our front yard looks too flat, so this is the side view if that were true.
