Tendrils


This is the other piece I have for Spectrum. It too is watercolour. I have many more ideas to go along with this theme but those will have to wait. In my imagination I see these little scenes as taking place in a tangled old Witch Garden. A secret place where lots of small and hidden things are happening.

  5. i'd like to add poortvliet to that list. there's a wonderful sense of fantasy in everyday nature that seems to be creeping more and more into your work.

    but now that i type, i think it's probably always been there...

    Rien Poortvliet.
    Absolutely !
    A big favourite. We must have at least 7 or 8 of his books, probably more. I just love how everything is so natural in his work - the colour and drawing especially.

    Pustroch is a nasty old sinner who wanders the northern most regions of the Boreal Forest, searching for and feasting on misguided eco tourists who have headed north to pillage our lakes and streams.
