Here is my newest painting, The Returning Ones. 🕊️

A legend tells of two doves who crossed between worlds into lavender skies carrying memories of peace and quiet hope.Their glowing feathers light ancient paths of the Sanctuary Tree and beneath its roots something begins to stir

White wings are said to have crossed the mist through the lavender skies 

In pencil for now…
 Some stories begin with soft wings and a lanterns glow on a path that remembers the way into the Sanctuary Tree…

A graphite study of one of the quiet visitors I’ve been observing. I wanted to slow down and really notice her details. 🌿

Still love practicing nature details-petals, wings, softness. 🌿🦋
