Aka, singing her heart out and playing the piano (with hooves)! This was a 'commission' from Mommy (to do a musical-related artwork). The 4 yo picked from the musical ponies - DJ Pon3 (Vinyl), Octavia, Songbird Serenade, and of course Rara (Countess Coloratura). We did this one on a real canvas to change it up a bit, and actually did the opposite of usual, painting the background with more intent. The 4 yo actually did all of the background pretty much by herself! I love how she made the little circles of light (unicorn horn 'candles') by twisting a foam brush! She also did an amazing job on her mane! Mommy helped out with the piano and Daddy filled in the details.This song was sung by Lena Hall, and written (of course) by Daniel Ingram. I hope we can do a specialtofor all the amazing music that he has put into the series. So great!!Video of Rara's song:Applejack and Rara's Story:A few steps along the way of making it. Each section takes 20-40 minutes, and we only do one section per day, so these always take over a week once the painting starts. If we try to do too much at once, the 4 yo loses interest. Here is what it looks like right before I add the lines, anyone prefer this version better than the final?Here is the progression. Check out the freshly painted runway (still wet), I love how the paint looks up close!
