image showcases a tradition painting by moonchu comprised of watercolours and inks. there is a night sky with space ephemera in the upper right corner, and puffy pink and orange clouds in the upper and lower left areas. nestled in the center of the painting is a fluffy blue bird with detailed feather wings, cradling a luminously glowing, yellow moon. a rainbow spot shines against the upper right pink cloud. random assorted items surround the painting, reminiscent of what howl from howls moving castle may have had in his room.

camellias symbolize perseverance, love, beauty. my mother embodied all of those things (and many more), so i painted her in a lush garden of camellia trees.

i wish that i could talk to her.

happy birthday, mom ! 🫶🍓

#moonchu #traditionalart #painting #fire
close up photo of an original painting by moonchu. very textured on cold press paper, lots of vibrant and deep, dark rich reds and oranges and yellows. fire-y cosmic clouds and stars. obvious abolish ice message, but also, so much more. if that makes sense. everything feels terrible. the full painting is of the lunar new year horse, to be shown later.

every year, i paint something for my mom. this is this year's. i wish that i could talk to her. i wonder how close we would be. i would like to bake a cake for her - although she was a really great cook and baker so idk lmao

#moonchu #art #originalart
photo depicts original painting by moonchu in vertical orientation. it's an ocean painting, with the sky gradiented in a soft blue purple to orange to pink. similarly coloured clouds float within the middle-bottom of the painting, as the horizon meets the pastel pink-purple ocean. two telephone poles are visible, one very close in the foreground and one very far away. water spills out onto some steps near the foreground telephone pole. a small crescent moon hangs way out in distant sky, towards the upper left. some orchid flowers, paint pans, a crystal, and markers hang out around the painting for the flatlay. a melancholy pastel painting exploring grief and loss - although it really doesn't look like it lmao close up of aforementioned painting of the crescent moon, and my cat ember's little paw resting on top of it. the sun is streaming through the window and the pane linings make shadows upon the image.
