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 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
Love your sunrise balloon paintng, what an adventure that would be!

Reminds me of the Balloon Festival in Albuquerque! Have you been?
ReplyDeleteNo I haven't Paula! And your castle is beautiful!
Deleteyes, it must be quite an experience. Good to do in a beautiful place. Sweet painting.
ReplyDeleteI used to think it's fun, but not so sure now, due to paranoia. ;)
ReplyDeleteBalloon 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!
ReplyDeleteI like your painting.
All the best Jan
