Sky Emotes

Hi, silly, really? This is how we talk now using emotes on the smart phones. LOL. In the painting, the emotes are projected onto the clouds like some kind of modern 'bat symbol'. Below is the city of Montreal.

To create the luminous glow, I started with the three colours yellow red and green and let it dry. Then I overlayed with the cloud effects and the city on the bottom. Originally the painting was going to be in the other direction, that is, what is the purple building were to be the sky, and the buildings would be the white space. I just saw the paining upside down had a more interesting composition, and the emotes would be in the sky. Seemed fitting IMHO.
