I wanted to share the line art for "In the Company of Trees." I love working with pen and ink! This part gets a bit lost after painting.

I have two devils on my shoulders. One is telling to pick up block printing. The other is telling me to try cross stitching. They are fighting to the death. My wrists hurt.

More musings from the Deity series I’ve been noodling on. This one in particular took a minute as I’ve been chipping away at it in my spare time. Playing with the idea of a Deity that could multiply itself into various configurations.

Close ups in the comments.
