Something with Fish In It
I really don't have any explanation for this ink-with-aqua. You're free to add your own.
The hall does have some fishy beings in it.
...and some really small details; the original is in the size of A4 (roughly letter size) and was made while I was waiting for other paint to dry.

Requiem for an Oak Tree
My parents had to pull it down, eventually. It saddened me a lot, of course; I grew up in its protective shadow, it had "always" been there (that the rings said "one generation" rather than "a millennium" didn't quite matter). Said protective shadow became threatening over the years, as heavy branches loomed over the house and if it would fall, it would clearly be in the direction of the house. So it had to go... Poor tree.
After some photos (you may see parts of the actual trunks to the left and the right) it was time for the gruelsome sketch.
The blood vessels and flow are of course branches and stem tweaked into red. A hollow oak nearby (ours wasn't hollow) made the fleshy cavity of the figurine. Her hair is made out of a very unruly willow tree that has never seen pruning or combing. You can't see it here, but it had magpies nesting in it. Life goes on.
