LeAnne!! Where've you been girl!!!! I missed you!! Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek.
Thanks Monica! Um that brown should have more red in it...oh well...Check out the post I'm putting up in a minute or so...I figured out how to tweak the scan so the color is closer.
Chris...Grrr....Flamez eh? You want flamez.....He he he...I'll get you some flamez....Keep an eye out.  The odd brown ink is a Winsor and Newton jar...The color is called Peat Brown...It doesn't say anywhere that it is archivel so I don't use it much, but had to buy it cuz I love the little bottle it comes in.
Nina!!! Coming from you, the Tree Queen.. Thanks!!!!
Thanks guys!

I like the color, and if the ink is by Windsor Newton then it is most likely archival. The past few trees you have done with the raised roots I really like.

Thanks Charissa! I'm on that kick right now...Want to keep pushing it...I have this picture in my head of the roots just striving to reach down and wrap around the rock...It is so much more dramatic in my head.  Just wish I could get it on paper....I'll just have to keep pushing it.

Danny, you are either getting really good at getting these down quickly, or you have a very long lunch break. Love the detail you got into this, like in the grass and little flowers, not to mention, of course, the tree itself (but that is starting to become a "given").

Another nice one Danny......the peat brown works really well, giving a softer feel.
Detail view is great ...and the roots have that feeling you are looking for.
