Description Entry for  Awareness of the Arts: Journey !
You can find all the entries for this contest here .

This is an illustration of byronycal 's poem, Nostalgia (EN)The scent of dry leaves descends
from the faint hot red sunset:
in the lukewarm evening
the smooth, foamy flow of the sea.
My breath cools in the shade of olive trees
where sounds of summer storms play:
roaring laughter and the friendly flare
of smiles, poured in pleasant company.
A dog’s wet gaze, crackling cicadas
and mumbling motherly flavours
sweetly swing, mirrored
in the copper of ancient pots. 
Waiting for my distant hand to take the usual road
and softly open the half-closed doorstep,
among the wood knots sleeps
the jingle of homely memories..

  Thank you

Trees are awesome, just the branches. I'm still not happy the way I make them...like they always end up too thick...too fake looking  I'm still working on that

Myrieen In reply to TokyoMoonlight [2017-06-24 19:41:43 +0000 UTC]

Indeed, branches are troublesome. Even giving them a "random look" it's difficult: sometimes they look too regular, other times they seem as "nature would never act like this D: "

I'm sure you'll reach your goals
