Such a simple image – and yet so expressive. For me it’s a statement about the ever changing nature of life, running in circles between life and death. I really love the monochromatic palette with just a hint of brownish colour tones. Beautiful.
(and thanks for the kind words you left me on visionandverb today……another male knitter in your family!! maybe he’ll teach some little person sometime….and look at what he could start?!)
This really neat! Great neutral colors, and of course I can image it as building materials for a gnome house of some sort. Perhaps an overhang or decorative embellishment over a tiny gnome tree door? 🙂

Thank you Otto! I’m taking your advice to heart!
Love the brooding intensity of the background, and the grasping claws of the plant (of course).
Thank you Richard!

Yes, it was quite cool and very dry:)

Why yes! How did you know;)
I like this – the composition, the contrast between shapes and lines, the textures, the subtle tones
Thank you Louis!
