Creative Tuesdays - Starry Night

It's time for Creative Tuesdays! The theme this week is 'Starry Night' and this is what I came up with in acrylic on cardstock (6.5" x 4.5").  I think  the dark purple background adds a rich feeling to the piece.  I used a bit of gold paint to add a bit of shimmer to everything.

It's too bad the computer does not give an accurate picture of the colors you used. For instance, the background looks more brown than purple to me. Very evocative piece, though.

Well, with my monitor I can see the purple and the gold in this, although perhaps muted. REALLY like this one, Christine. Love the simplicity of design. That solititary figure adds some mystery to it too. Great job. :)
