Toward Summerland - Dianne Lorden

My intention here had been to practice mistiness with the Inktense pencils, then overlay with Prismacolors. I sort of lost track of where I wanted the mist, though, when I got involved with reflections. Stunningly short memory! So, I'll be revisiting the whole mist thing.
My artwork can be viewed and is for sale at: South Mountain Sketchbook

Love it! Really nice! The ship and sail is a beautiful design! I've always wanted to do a ship like this! I like the colors too! Didi you make the pattern on the sale up yourself?

This is so mystical and fantastical - I love it, Dianne!

The sail pattern is based on portions of an engraving of the mythical Watcher at the Well, a Celtic spirit who predicted which soldiers would die in battle. I altered the design I found to better represent my understanding of the story. But I thought it fitting for the sail, as the ships are destined to the Afterlife. Thanks for asking!
