This picture can be understood as you wish, I'll not explain, because it is too multifaceted concept... by @juliakponsford.

Sometimes in the process of drawing, I see that I'm not satisfied with the some colors, and I begin to adjust them.

Nice work.

I think, a golden sword isn't hard, because gold is a soft metall. Otherwise for diving into a hearth, it is hard enough.

Thank you for taking us through your thinking and painting process.


Goolden sword is simple my strange fantasy.
And generally, I just liked the shade of color, he-he))@marsschleppe, thanks for comment!
