I love the way the lines of the camping table bring out the leaf veins. The sand has created fantastic depth to this. Gorgeous Gigi!

micmac, 8 months ago
Thanks Andy,but i should tell you that’s a camping table,i agree with you ,looks like sand.
collectiveone, 8 months ago
I love this. Nice textures as well as good contrast of warm colors with a cold subject. I also agree, it does look like a fossil! Very nicely done!
Dakolina, 8 months ago
the leaf looks disproportionate to the sand.. did you comb the sand with a hair comb?? because the sand looks very much like thick hair strands.. its almost a little surreal, yet like all your work its beautiful
micmac, 8 months ago
Thanks Nick and Dakolina.

Parce que j’habite en Florida, j’ai cru que c’était une feuille à la plage, alors j’ai lu que la feuille est couverte dans la glace, lol. Ces deux choses sont seulement un petit morceau différents, lol. J’adore l’éclariage et les coleurs dans cette belle photo.
