Dream of the Arc

This was an idea I've never tried before. Layers and layers of end-of-day "palette remnants" began this artistic adventure...then I sculpted a soft version of the Arc of Dreams over the top of each side. It worked perfectly as a Diptych, since, in real life, the Arc does NOT touch ;)! Then I silver leafed the Arc! SO FUN! Then I added shadows to the Arc and painted a glaze/wash over the background to make it more cohesive...and lastly I drew back out some of the bright points of color in the background...just as dreams often blend and fade and sparkle...
