This is an older piece of mine inspired by an artist I saw at Greenwich Market who has this way of creating eerie woodland scenes. Even after all this time it is still unfinished. I must make sure to set aside some time to add in the butterfly that is supposed to be resting on the bear's paw.

"There was no sound. The stars above the hill were no stars his eyes had ever seen. Yet he knew the constellations by name: the Sheaf, the Door, the One Who Turns, the Tree. They were those stars that do not set, that are not paled by the coming of any day." - Ursula Le Guin (A Wizard of Earthsea, chap. 5)

UPRIGHT: Pause, surrender, letting go, new perspectives

REVERSED: Delays, resistance, stalling, indecision

I've got so many concepts whirling around my mind that sometimes a quick sketch helps bring me to focus and allows me to put a pin in it for a short while.

"To die, to sleep – to sleep, perchance to dream – ay, there’s the rub, for in this sleep of death what dreams may come."
