A close-up sequel to the racing elf moth rider in 'The Fairy Tree'

I have been longing to develop the moth race scene from the 'The Fairy Tree' for some time now, and finally completed it in September. It features a more detailed study of the elf and the beautiful and large Venezuelan Poodle Moth which a large moth that is sometimes kept as a pet and has a fluffy and ethereal quality to it.

The colours of the night sky are very similar to 'The Fairy Tree' to capture the magic of the evening.
