Description
Sorry for the horrid quality, taken with my camera because it's a wee bit big.I've always loved the mythology behind spiders. It is said that they gave humans language by spinning words and symbols into their webs. They are a creative symbol.

Wow this is so beautiful! I love the intensity of the few colors you used.
That fiery red for the bark is really interesting. I also like how everything seems
to flow gradually into something else, like the tree turning to spiderwebs.
Beautiful details, nice job.

Storytellers
We need to make up stories
to be able to create realities.
That's what separates sapien
from beast.
Speak to the feast
or famine.
Sage, carnie, beggar
Come to the play!
There was a Roman soldier bored with war,
with whores, with bloody babies.
Hoping to escape, he wrote a history,
moved into
his Holy fantasy.
It's but a Shangri-La, a piper's dream.
Metal men, formed from clay,
scream upon fields of battle,
when nerves
catch up with senses.
Soothed with martial melodies,
gratefully serve.
Listen, oh little one.
The wind will catch you up as you sleep.
You won't remember when you wake, weeping,
how small, insignificant you are. Mommy assures,
you're her own little star. Demons alone explain
your terror. You determine
to do better. You soothe yourself with stories.
You spin a tale of love within a dance.
You spin yourself the center of romance,
a home, a fortress, an emptiness fulfilled.
Like a child counting fireflies,
alive in the darkened air,
dare to immerse with sparkling wonder,
to share
more beautiful stories.

This was probably drawn around the same time as this was written...
Such lovely words for the imagery that asks for them

So great! My experimentation with sparse use of color have never turned out, but this looks so good. Really excellent!
