Above the Storm

It's been a long time, but among summer events, sewing, knitting, entering artwork in the county fair and going to college, I haven't gotten around to doing any noteworthy art to post here. Yesterday, however, a tidal wave of inspiration hit me at approximately 12:30 - a terrible time when you planned to spend your afternoon researching the crusades - and I came up with a myriad of different ideas, one of them being this. It began as a simple sketch, which needed ink, so in the name of Inktober, I attempted to make beautiful black lines, then, it needed color. When will I ever learn to buy watercolor pads instead of simple sketchpads? Decent washes don't really happen. Oh well, I had fun. And really, that's all that matters.
