The red fox, for one corner of Ousel Falls border. A fox, a moose, a bear...and something else. Not sure yet. Eagle probably. This one for Jeanne❤️ .

The wee beginnings of Ousel Falls in Big Sky Montana. The actual photo is on the right, my drawing on the left. My process in-between 😝 .
This is a little different for me, well, a lot different. I usually draw people and very up close rocks and all sorts of symbols, so an entire landscape is a very different experience for me. Different in my head than a portrait - relating to the forest, not just the trees. A wider view. A bigger perspective. One that will, eventually, contain a waterfall🐟🦐🦋🕷️ .
I love the way markers and pencils blend into an almost paint-like surface. I'm obsessed with this technique.😎 Bright colors. I have absolutely no idea as to how I'm going to re create the water, which is why I haven't touched it yet. Tomorrow perhaps. Kinda scary. .

Thou Art That
this life of yours that you are living is not merely a piece of the entire existence, but is, in a certain sense the whole; only the whole is not so constituted that it can be surveyed in one simple glance. This is what the Brahmins express in that sacred, mystic formula that is yet really so simple and so clear; Tat tvam asi, that is you. .
