Sunday Sketches - Up Up and Away


Welcome to Sunday Sketches! This piece is called 'Up Up and Away', a sunrise theme today! It's done in acrylic (6" x 6") on good quality orange cardstock.  This must be quite an experience don't you think?

Even in silhouette the hot air balloons are intriguing on a early morning ride. I have seen many different colorful versions, but have never taken the ride ... maybe I will add that to my bucket list :) Very nice, Christine ...

I used to think it's fun, but not so sure now, due to paranoia. ;)

Balloon Festivals are fun and colourful to see ... but I don't think I would like to be up there, I haven't a good head for heights!

I like your painting.

All the best Jan

i always think it would be fun to ride in a hot air balloon but I know I'd only last about 30 seconds before I start screaming to go back down!! I'm terribly afraid of heights. Ah, well. They are pretty to look at. Yours is especially nice.

I love your silhouette of the hot-air balloon — nice touch! I'm not sure I would ever want to ride in one but it would be quite an experience for sure.

I love it how you have illustrated the "up-and-away" theme. I always have this in mind when I can't fall asleep. I imagine flying in a ballon. The striped background is wonderful and makes it even more relaxing!

good job creating a sense of height, like the balloon is flying away. would love to go up in one, would be so incredible seeing everything from up high
