It does have a certain beauty...

The Santa Cruz Mtns espcially always were a

simpatico place for meditation/fantasy/rejuvenation....

....so true... the dampness is omnipresent throughout those mtns...

The fir trees and redwoods are enormous, even though now rarely >100years old...

...I may be able to revisit sometime this year....may......

Not really the right landscape for Xmas, but I like it: deep, dark, sad, quite dismal...( where is the satyr?). What does mean "Mirkwood-ish"?

Ha! I may have taken the satyr out of this! 
It does indeed look damp and dark.
"Mirkwood" is the name of a dangerous forest
in "Lord Of The Rings" 

I am back in Coarsegold today Fri,
and return to Frisco Sun morning...
Per your suggestion, I am working
on a drawing of some rocks here
and a bit of their landscape...

This is _very_ much the deep damp, dank, deep forests in the Santa Cruz Mountains..... ponds seem rare up here though ....
at the end of the blocks of our isolated community (redwood estates) .....even though they were logged 100 yearrs ago, left (by accident?) scattered very old and 100 feet plus tall very old redwoods, as well as the now-century-old firs, redwoods, madrones, bay...and quite rarely, oak.....all luckily protected and the underbrush/thickets getting thicker by the year...

I miss this environment,
having involuntarily left that neighborhood,
early in '14...and my house of
35 years lost...but....Yosemite 
is not a bad place to be for a tree-hugger
such as moi...

Ha I did answer your questions about this, no?
I took the satyr out of this... 

Chrysallis is a DA artist - in Greece I believe...
She has not corresponded with me in nearly 5 years...

Ok, you are forgiven - but you
really have been distant from 
your art circles here for 
some time, no? I hope all is
going well, though I suspect that
these are some tough times
in Hellas...

Ah....many many thanks! ...and I didn't think you saw it... am very glad you like it... I think that you may use it as
stock, if you like... I really would like to see what you could do with it.... BTW this is the version without the nearly-transparent
demi-angel .... There are several variations in the other version...
