Description This is not a commission. I drew this as a practise piece while listening to the band Railroad Earth, a talented bluegrass jam band, although I'm sure they would not call themselves that, but there you have it. I like this one and I think I might send it off to them. We'll see. The women is a personification of the little girl's learning of the knowledge of nature. She reminds me of my friend Tina in countenance, I'll have to tell her that. Oh and I used [link] as a reference. So thank you Mizzd.

I love the idea that your space bar is dead and you still commented with the underscore, you're fantastic! Thank you for your kind words and for picking up on the feel I tried to create. I decide to send it off to them more as a "thank you for the inspiration" than a "buy my art". So we'll see if I hear back from them. Thanks again, oh and I love your newest piece, I forget the name but the silhouette of the woman on the hill overlooking the sky and twinkling lights. So well done

Beautiful piece. Never heard of the band, though, but I agree the above poster, they need to use this as an album cover. I hope they enjoy the piece as much as we do here!

I've never heard of them, but if they have any smarts they'dwant this as their next album cover Very beautiful. I love how the red contrasts so sharply with the bluish greens. And the woman, her hair...again a masterpiece. You know J, if drawing ever bores you, you can always be a hair...designer. You know...sculpted hair, for theatrics. Veddy nice.

Whoa my last reply just dissapaited. I'll try again. Thanks a bunch for your kind words K, I've done a couple designs for these guys so perhaps I'll send them off with a nice cover letter and see what happens. Hair design huh? Tempting but I think I'll try sculpting wood and stone before hair.

This is fabulous! I love how all the components of the drawing keep one's gaze moving in a gentle circular direction, absorbing all of the illustration again and again, yet each time seemingly more intense.

Thank you, I've been enjoying creating the circle within the square structure. Simple but fun
