If a picture is worth a thousand words, I feel like art must be at the very least akin to epic poetry.

[And, being as I am in the middle of a class about them, I know it's safe to say that Lewis, Tolkien, Barfield and their contemporaries would strongly concur.]

My newest piece, "Tulkas," is the embodiment and expression of more raw emotion than I care to mention. I'm very, very pleased with it because I think that with the possible exception of "Wild at Heart" it is hands-down the most fluid portrait I've ever produced. Furthermore, it beats even "Wild at Heart" in that the creative process was, I think, more pure. I was really lost in this image the whole time I worked on it, and it has become something really immensely close to my heart.

That being said, this is literally my first piece since "Seeker." This semester is a whole lot better than last, but still busy! Funny, because the real reason I turned back to art was that these particular two weeks have been strange and difficult, and I really needed a creative outlet. Here we are.

Anyway, enough rambling. Hope all is well for you, my friends!
