A very fitting illustration, not only for the contest, but also for the season... we just had our first snow of the year :o( So I relate to the expression on this character (moon).

I really like how you have used at least 5 different hues of blue to create this piece.

Though this piece is perfect for the contest - I feel it is a powerful illustration for "Many" stories to be told.

It captured and held my attention as my mind spun with various thoughts of how this image could be used to illustrate emotion.

Love it Mark - Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest. I'm glad to see more of your work in the last couple of days. "Wink"

Hi Mark, Though I know these are teardrops the image reminds me of the sun. I can hear that song that has these lyrics, "By losing everything it's like the sun going down on me!" Very sad! I see a lot of pain here! So many teardrops that once were sunny rays! Blue definitely fits the image! Because I suffer from severe anxiety I can definitely feel this one!
Good Luck in the Contest! This is a great entry! :o) Nancy

Well this is so dramatic and a rather depressing image... so sad. But appropriate for the color Blue contest. Blue in the psychological sense of the word. Good luck in the contest.

A very interesting and creative visual presented here. Composition limited colour and overall presentation is extremely well done. Love the title that fits the subject. Well done.

Love the inspiring message per artist's notes. I love how you have used the shades of blue to define those sad eyes and other facial features. This image made me think of this line: "When words fail, tears flow." Great drawing, Mark.

I really like the emotions showing in the eyes of this blue moon/sun. A wonderful portrayal of sadness and somber-ness. Reflective and so precise! Beautiful details nice full frame and so blue! Great entry to the contest, best wishes!
