'...And the trees do not like strangers. They watch you. They are usually content merely to watch you, as long as daylight lasts, and don't do much. Occasionally the most unfriendly ones may drop a branch, or stick a root out, or grasp at you with a long trailer. But at night things can be most alarming, or so I am told...' ~JRRT, _the Fellowship of the Ring_

This is a very nice piece of work, Jim, and the lines and color make it really come alive. Keep up the good work!

:-) James D. Ramsey replies: "Thanks, Bill... this was one of my first experimentations with watercolor pencil, and in fact it was one of my first colored works ever! (back to '96, whew!)"

The perspective is interesting that he's reaching for us and yet not looking at us. I suppose a tree wouldn't be able to turn it's trunk, though. Your style kind of reminds me if the artwork that was on one of the old tolkien books.
