Rainbow Dash Art Nouveau

The fifth piece to be added to my MLP Art Nouveau series, Rainbow Dash! A personal favorite of mine, I did my best to try and make sure the frame and outfit of the character were fitting to the personality and overall theme without looking too cheesy because of the rainbow color palette. Ultimately I tried to play off of the Olympian theme Rainbow Dash and Cloudsdale, her hometown, had at times. Overall, I think that I managed to implement the rainbow theme tactfully without making the frame look too gaudy.
The flowers in the top left and right corners of the frame are Gladiolus flowers, which represent moral integrity and strength. I felt that given their name, which is derived from the latin word for "sword," and their meaning in the language of flowers, it was perfect to represent her.

As for her outfit, I gave Rainbow something with a bit of a Greek theme to it and even put laurels in her hair. I tried to make it as simple as I could since Rainbow Dash, while showy and flashy, wouldn't be the type to wear a dress with copious amounts of lace and bows. I also figured she'd prefer something that she could easily move around in. This was the best that I could come up with, and I think I probably could have done better, but I'm not completely dissatisfied with it and I think the frame helps make up for it
