Week #5 Super Mario Clouds

Looking at this image takes me to the Mushroom Kingdom. The fluffy clouds and colors immediately remind me Super Mario. The straight-on 2D perspective reinforces this impression. 

In terms of lighting, I like that the sky is so bright while the ground is shadowy and dark.There is a lot of texture in the sky and the landscape. The blues, whites and purples make feel calm and protected; like the way you might feel listening to the rain on your window in the morning. The green is lush and deep; it reminds me of being a carefree kid and playing in the grass.

Overall, this image gives me a sense of play and imagination.
