A piece of gift art for our dear friends 
Thornwolf and 
Skorzy that turned into a collaboration with the uniquely talented 
foxamoore
The inspiration behind this piece was a visit to Joshua Tree National Park with our very good friends Skorzy and Thornwolf who were kind enough to give us a guided tour of some of their favorite places, which quickly became some of our favorite places. Thank you Thornwolf and Skorzy for the adventures and all the vivid color painted memories.
This painting came to be as we watched the sunset over the park and later the stars as they took their long slow yawn across the deepening sky. I wanted very much to capture the feeling I had in that very moment and moreso to create something for two friends who had given me said moment and all the many smiles and good memories in the recent years.
Additionally, something else wonderful happened. I shared the painting wip with the talented :userFoxAmoore: and he immediately asked if he could write an accompanying music track to go with the painting. I was thrilled that the painting would inspire something in his musical bones and could scarcely turn down such a generous inspiring offer.
I hope for you, my dear friends, the track and the accompanying image may sway your hearts to dance together beneath the sprawl of stars and feel both small and grand before them.

Here we are now
with lights above our heads
here we stay now
beneath white blue and reds.
None in sight
a million lights
here to stay now with us
here we are now
beneath a million lights.

Gorgeous piece
This is really a beautiful piece
XDD Just kiddin'~ Man such beautiful masterpiece~! Looks like if it was done traditionally! <33
If I haven't thanked you enough already, thank you so much for this wonderful gift and your friendship, I'm so happy our sanctuary inspired you, and thanks to Fox Amoore for creating such a wonderful soundtrack for it. :)
<3
Absolutely brilliant piece again. Together with the wonderful song Fox Amoore did for this picture, the feelings in it become even more visible and make you almost feel the emotions. Such a brilliant work of both of you.....Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful.
Just absolutely beautiful.

You know it's a good piece when you have to reach for the Carl Sagan quotes. This is seriously evocative, tender, and affective. Thank you so, so much for sharing.
the music is perfect as well.
just, just oh man. the color contrast, and the lighting on the rock, and those STARS.
i'm floored.
Joshua trees are hella neat too!
A great moment of love.
You should try Garden of the Gods, in Colorado Springs during sunset... spectacular.
I really like how you can choose colours, they always look so beautiful and vibrant, even the darker colours: they don't turn muddy like in my digi attempts X3
And that's enough.
Also, you know I loves me some snuck-in heart motifs u_u
The accompanying piece is quite nice as well - were it not for that, another piece that might come to mind is "The Flow Of Life" by Nobuo Uematsu, in the Final Fantasy 7 OST.
Odd...although I have never been to Joshua Tree National park, this brings back memories. A time and place I can't quite describe with words...
