        I had the good fortune to do a day walk in the glorious Springbrook National Park – Gold Coast Hinterland late last year after days of steady rain. That’s when the rainforest comes to life. I photographed a small stream just off the path which was excellent then I lifted up a large leaf next to it and found this gem.

        A beautifully controlled drawing of all those stems and twisting ‘vines’ – and the colour work on them is superb.
        Such a lovely sense of tangled depth here and very subtle painting and pen work! A little treasure!

        Cheers, Maureen

                Lovely work. One can almost feel the damp emanating from your picture.

                I love where you’re going with this technique Shane. Most unusual. I have doubts about the water though. A little too much like a draped sheet as opposed to sparkling, translucent water. Your original nifty image may have contained some outer flecks of foam or droplets? If not, I would have put some in I think. Well done.

                    Thanks all.

                    You are right watercolour lover, the water isn’t quite right although the scan is a poor reflection as there are some subtle tones. Pardon the pun. :lol

                            Lovely, and so many great textures.

                            C&C welcome and appreciated

                                And where is the black and white version? This does look stunning, but I think there was lots to appreciate even before you inked it. What is the green thing in the background, a fence? Also size? I think the play of reds and greens makes this one pop.

                                    … then I lifted up a large leaf next to it and found this gem.

                                    A nice result after a deeply lived experience of nature

                                        a very complicated scene made almost simple by use of texture and color. very nice.

                                        The only thing that surprises me anymore, is that I can still be surprised:D
