New art- Light the Darkness
I was going to paint something else, but when I went to get my paper I found this artwork which had been sitting half done for ages. So I decided to finish it off first since it was a fun quick one. Three colour acrylic  "sketch" on canvas, something a bit different and fun...


What I was going to work on, before getting side tracked by this one, and am sketching up now is a set of winged unicorn ponies. I'm reliving my childhood you see... back when I was about seven, I think I was a little bit obsessed with My Little Pony. Anywho, I had these little pony characters I had created and wrota a bunch of stories about (I think I created them anyway, but they aren't exactly original, don't blame 7 year old me if I copied them from somewhere!). They were sisters, called Rainbow Wings, Sunset and Moonshine. They were given presents from the fairies that they used on their adventures. Sunset had a necklace that could take her (and her sisters!) anywhere the sun shone. Moonshine had a tiara that could answer any question, and Rainbow wings, the youngest, had golden horseshoes that could grant wishes. 
The point is.... I'm painting them ^_^
These paintings are going to be nigh-disgustingly sickly sweet. I'm even painting a rainbow in one of them!! But it's what I'm in the mood for at the moment :) They are all sketched up and ready to go except a couple of flowers for Rainbow Wings. They are going to be SO DAMN CUTE!!!!

Oh, this is lovely, Selina! Do you paint white on at the end or use masking fluid to get those lovely, sharp whites on parts like the fairy's wings?

Golden is a brand name that's popular in Canada and the US. The have regular tubes of acrylics and bottles of fluid colours(basically more of a liquid, it's not as thick)

Oh wow that's amazing for three colours! He looks like hoggle!! Can't wait to see the ponies, I was so obsessed with MLP's as a kid too. Hell I only gave my 30+deep collection away about 3 years ago. Sigh :P

That is gorgeous.

I've fallen in love with your work since seeing it at Winterfest a few weeks ago (my brother, Matthew, did the announcing for the jousting).
