A happy family of 5 riding on a pick up truck on the hilly road. Clouds, trees, cows and hydrangeas surround them.

5 monsters dance around a bonfire before their dinner feast in a dark forest.

A giant mermaid pays a visit to an underwater cave where she is greeted by many seals that are wearing hats and holding tridents.

A farmer stands before an abandoned community centre in a forested area surrounded by colourful creatures that hide in various sections of the scene.

Day 09 - A Peaceful Lion

On my way back to Cork, I stopped by Fota Wildlife Park to do some animal sketching. I was on my way out, as there were minutes before the park closed, and I came across this beautiful sight.
