Squeeze the Moonbeams Lightly: Odd Prompt

This delightful prompt gave me such good imagery in my head I couldn't resist making it another visual week.

One of the fun things about using the art program to render out my illustrations is tweaking it with illustration styles, like poring over books of old art and adopting little quirks that suit me. So, as part of studying art and art history, here is the prompt rendered in combined styles of 19th century children's book illustrators. There were some truly delightful renditions, and I wonder which is your favorite!

My prompt this week came from 'Nother Mike, and I prompted Padre with "The purple flower bloomed with a pulsating central light."
