Hollow

I am really missing the blog world- my computing device is still un-repaired... my friend said "2 more days"... Oh well, I am communicating on a borrowed (for an evening) laptop and am having to recycle an old thumbnail to link to a pic I don't think I've posted- a hallow Halloween Tree. I hope you like it! Have a great week!- John

Worn

The theme for Illustration Friday is "Worn"... I apologize for using an picture I've posted before but I am on a borrowed computer since mine has been crashed for mutiple weeks now... but hopefully I'll be back in the saddle again in a week or so. Have a great week!- John

Leprechaun Tree
