Artist's Comments

Shambling, but beautiful.

There's a hill on my way to work that I stare at every chance I get and this is an inspiration off of that hill.

tea (background, it was soaked on the other side and seeped through to the viewing side)
green, blue, yellow watercolor
pencil
black pen

This is so beautiful...I would love to visit the hill you speak of. Reminds me of Moira, the Ancient One, from the first Neverending Story. Fav!

Beautifully inventive.

I love it. Everything about this illustration is very earthy and fitting with the subject. Wonderful use of colors and line.

Almira Gulch! Just because you own half the county doesn't mean you have the power to run the rest of us. For twenty-three years, I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you. And now, well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it.

Wow! Using the tea gave it a really nice touch on the background. And the hill/person is an awesome concept.

This is really poetic, the idea is great and the way you put it into image is very original !
I really love it, and the way you used tea + watercolor gives a very soft and natural touch...
Simply beautiful. <3
