Description
I have made it an affirmation to get more artwork done before summer! Here is the beginning...hopefullyThere are some people trying to get me into an art show in the future months and I need a lot more sell-able pieces. Keeping my own personal style is my goal
See if you can find the five tree spirits that are hidden
I hope you guys enjoy!
Some beautiful stock was used which you can find here:

The title is a song by Sa Ding Ding, a traditional Chinese singer. I thought something this ancient sounding would suit this picture well. If you are open to hear a different genre of music, I would recommend her ^.^
Time: about 12 hours

Well thank you! It means a lot.
I get bored too easily, I think that's my major problem. But I have tried many mediums so some good came out of my short attention span. XD
Your skill with watercolor is stunning. I just love how sharp the light and shadows are in your work. Your gallery is extremely underrated, it's just gorgeous. ^^

Absolutely fabulous work, I love this, it makes me feel like I'm looking at another world. Everything looks amazing, and you've really got your own style at work in this piece. Finding the spirits was just a bonus, even if they weren't there I would still be in awe. I can see definite improvement in this, you're really let your imagination take over. I LOVE IT!

Your comments are always so thoughtful! I really appreciate such detailed feedback. I wanted to make it look like another world, or a least a dream. It has many Chinese references that I tried to keep as accurate as possible. Once the imagination gets going, it's like a disease XD
I also want to apologize too for not taking more time to go through your gallery and comment on all the work you have accomplished. I see different techniques and so much dramatic improvement with every new piece. I promise I will take a closer look soon. Thank you for the support, as always!

Haha, well I have an easy time making detailed comments about your artwork, because every time I look at one of your new pieces, I see something new and different. I've been looking at your artwork for a long time and you don't post very often because you always put such time and effort into your pieces and it shows, every time you come out with something new, it makes the artist in me giddy as a school girl.
Haha, it's all good really, you're busy I understand, just comment on what you can and that'll be good enough for me.

That's what I try to do. Make something unique every time. I'm so happy you think that about my work. I want to update more often, but school takes up so much time. I actually have been doing a lot of work but they are all commissions and I'm sure if they're DA material. Giddy school girl is a very funny mental image.
I promise I will give you some feedback and you can hold me to it

Gorgeous work! The muted colours are beautiful, and not only is all the intricate detail great to look at, I really love that you've worked in those spirits hidden for us to look for! It adds a dimension to engage us lookers ^_^ I love it!

Thank you for such a thoughtful comment! I wasn't going to mention the hidden figures, but I figure it would make people take a second look. So happy you like it!

Calmality In reply to stevofaded [2011-01-21 04:13:20 +0000 UTC]
I never thought of that. It would make an interesting tattoo! Although, I don't know if I would ever do it myself knowing that it is permanently going on someone's skin
Too many chances of making mistakes
