Balance - Illustration Friday
I discarded all the initial ideas that came to mind when I saw this week's Illustration Friday topic - a tower of animals and acrobats, a tight-rope walker, and so on. Then I thought of the flamingoes we saw on vacation last week, balancing on one foot very comfortably. Added a toddler trying to imitate the flamingo - on a beach - at sunset. Many balances in the image now: human and bird, land and sea, day and night.
Here's the pencil sketch I started with for this illustration:

cute idea. I love the expression of the girl, who seems highly concentrated to me, and therefore completly balanced.

I really like the lighting in this one. It is so rhythmical and warm. I think this is why I like it. It makes me feel warm and safe like in a mothers arms being rocked to sleep....ok....on a beach...in the daytime...with flamingos...ok, so... nevermind. :-)
