This picture was drawn to get a grasp of the magical scenery of a story that's forming (slowly!) in my head. It's about this very large family of elemental-like people. Almost all 22 of them live in a great castle/palace of which this is the garden.

You can feel the happy, quiet, freindly garden atmosphere with coloured bushes and the light statue in the foreground (possibly a spring?) and the dark, unfriendly wood behind it - well done, i like this contrast!

Very cool magical garden drawing, I like the hazy dreamlike quality it has. Well done.

*First comment swing dance* I like this. It's got a very nice serene feel too it. Very well done!

You produce some lovely results in this style which is hard to do successfully. Lovely mood in this pic but it also has a slight air of mystery about it.

Beautiful landscape. The garden is very colourfull and beautiful and the forest looks dark and a bit scary. I prefer staying in the garden.

I almost expect to see a fairy flitting through this any minute now. <G>

I like the contrast between the forest and the garden, and how the little figure at the bottom of the page is the brightest part of it. It has a distinctly impressionistic (is that a word?) feel to it, that works well with the subject of the picture.

Such a beautiful garden - its loveliness calls attention to the dark and gloomy atmosphere of the dense forest outside the gate.
22 Elemental-like people living in a castle? Any relationship to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet which are assigned to the pathways between the sephiroth on the Kabbslitic Tree of Life? (The Tree in the Garden)
