It's All Relative

Last summer we started a new tradition at the beach.
Launching Sky Lanterns!
I found an image of this in my TBC file and
thought I'd give it a try.  

"Sky Lantern" 
8 x 8


I was channelling Kevin MacPherson's  painting 
"Man with a Gold Tooth".


It's a great example of how to make something "glow"
by painting every thing surrounding it
darker and cooler! 
(It's all relative!)
