That's just amazing! I love the sort of dull colours of green-ish (I think?) with the vibrant red/pink-ish =] Is she pregnant? It looks really beautiful to see the belly all stretched out with the mother holding on to her unborn child lovingly <3 The details are astounding as well~ The face of a troll or what it was (That one near the ground of just a face in the detail pictures) kind of creepy but thrilling in the detail of it^^ I think 'great' doesn't quite do it all but I'm sleepy, haha (:

Well it's not meant to be her belly, it's an orb she's cradling.

-le sigh- gorgeous as always. Wonderful use of contrasting colors; the butterflies=WIN. And i love the way she blends so well into the elements; camouflaged, but the eye is immediately drawn to her anyway.

Mostly self taught for watercolors, though I've taken lots of art classes when growing up. And yes, I do have several tutorials (and a book) here [link]

PS:I love your book covers on Catherine Asaro's books. I was sad when her new book "Night Bird" didn't have your art on the cover!

I love the very whimsical feel I get while looking at this. I expecially like how there are a lot of elements and details within the drawing that you don't notice at first. It's very beautiful and I can really see the love you put into it.

Steph, I love the creature at the bottom of the tree coming around the trunk. Man, I just love your work!

I have ALWAYS loved fantasy drawings/paintings/etc. that somehow combine a being and a tree. I have tried to make pictures like that, in vain. This picture helps inspire! No WAYYY would I EVER get it to look as cool as yours and I would NEVER copy an artist's work! I just mean this picture gives me some ideas. It's beautiful and I love the bursts of red from the butterflies. Very mysterious!
