    Hey Louise, this is SO cool… everywhere I look I can see faces and eyes. I swear, it`s not the medication!! I really do love pictures like this that I can look at over and over again, and each time finding something new of interest. The way the trunks and roots are intertwined makes for an enchanting composition, and with your pastel tonal range, the image as an abstract, or as a detailed study of driftwood is pleasing to the eye. nice work… as usual!

    How beautiful, Louise. And I especially love the rising piece in front, which looks like an animated extension of the fine old fellow in the background, and so wonderfully lit because driftwood can get that irridescent glow that makes you think stories of the sea and life is coursing through the inside.

    Beautiful textures and tones, Louise. The colours are so subtle that it almost looks as though it was tinted.
