Sometimes you loose a friend. And from there you sit down and write.
The snippet isn't perfect, but it was worked on last night. Sometimes, you just need to let the emotions flow and just... feel them.

Rest well, dear friend, we got it from here.

"The Speaker" is a gouache peacock with micca powder watercolor accents. Painted on 9x12 smooth bristol.

The camera cannot get the effects right. 100% better in person.

So brgins the start of gift painting. The designs I paint up till Christmas will not be available for sale, and will receive random updates. This is a time for me to stretch and practice my skills.
