“Moonlight falling over me
Sail on where the shadows hide”
Kamelot – Moonlight
This rather simple painting came to live in December 2014 when I still needed a Christmas present for a friend. I was listening to music while I thought about what to draw – and of course got my inspiration from it. The artwork is mainly inspired by two things: Nightwish album “Oceanborn” and Kamelot’s song “Moonlight”. I had a quite clear vision in my mind how the picture was supposed to look like and got out my watercolours to bring it to life on paper. First I painted the moon, then I went on with the background. As a final touch I added the ship – which I drew with a fineliner to not mess up the details.
