That is amazing for one night. If you keep at it, I'll bet you can sell some of these for "coin" money.
Haha thanks, that would be nice. This is one more I did last night I couldn't sleep it takes me about 3hr's now per.
I think over time, your technique will really improve. Years ago, I started making 8X10 pastel charcoal drawings coping the faces of women in Playboy. By the time I had done just 8 of them, the first 5 or so looked like kindergarten trash while the last ones were amazing (if I may say so myself) as my"self-taught" technique had improved that much.
BTW, I made a large marine painting in oil once and took it to an art gallery in Georgetown, DC to be critiqued. He told me it looked like a "Paint-by-Numbers!" That ended that career path. LOL.
This is a Meta Lake Lodge in Ontario Canada, after a fun day catching delicious Walleye we had a few barley pops in the evening (only got dark for about 4 hours) and they let us burn this old boat

Oh no, you realize you are making a joke out of destroying wood and polluting the earth's atmosphere so the trees and poor animals will choke on the unclean air.

I keep this out for the local Honeybees, they bring water back to the hive.
When I was a lifeguard at an apartment pool, I would jump in to save the wasps, honey bees, yellow jackets and bumble Bees that had fallen into the pool and were trying to fly out. I would go over to them and very slowly bring the back of my hand up under them so the water would run off and leave them high and dry. They would rub their proboscis and flap their wings until they got dry enough to fly off. 30+ saves and never got stung.

Beautiful view, although it would be much more appreciated if one was alive. My view will be looking down on my wife’s 36C’s. She said something about having me carbonized into a pendant for her necklace.

I'm guilty! I always want to know where every image is taken. I just assumed (like most members who post a photograph) that folks will know the location. This was taken from the internet. Location: Washington state, USA.
PS Perhaps better to have written: "Do as I ask, not as I do" as in this case your french comment does not apply.

LOL. Nope, that is not Washington State - they don't have palm trees in Washington State and there has not been a nuee ardente eruption since the l980's from Mt. SH (Saint Helens, not SpaceHayduke.....). Think tropical for location.

Suggestion. If you cut out about 7" to 8" from the bottom, I think it will look even better. What do you think?

What if you spent 8 hours per piece?
I would like to see way more detailed highlights and shadows with the light coming from one direction. Use glowing "backlight"
I hope this helps as I as an artist love criticism.
