It takes slow, little steps to start something small growing into something big and expansive, but it's worth it. You may need to take baby steps to get out and experience all of that, but it's all right -- just make sure you do take that first step. After all, what would have happened if the first seeds didn't grow to make something like, say, a national park or a beautiful meadow?

THE WORLD WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT BLANDER!

...yeah, I got nothin'. And I don't know how that swirly tree is going to turn into an evergreen but artistic license says it will and who am I to argue?

Re: From the Heart

Protect the old and cherish new life. Hope you enjoy the design this week. Please vote.

Re: Nature's Cathedral

I'm very pleased how this one turned out. I hope you like it too!

Re: Planet Earth National Park

My favorite open space is Planet Earth.

Re: Outside the Cubical

This is a message to get outside your cubical and explore something more!

Re: Below H20

This was inspired by Biscayne National Park, which is 95% underwater and also my favorite one. It's not your traditional national park, in fact none of the parks in Florida are, but in a derby focused on trees and mountains, I thought they deserved a mention too. There are plenty of open underwater spaces to explore here, and personally, I'd rather be at the bottom of a coral reef than at the top of a mountain. Barracudas over bears, any day.

Re: Save the Trees

Except for maybe the mean trees ...

Re: Tranquility

Beautiful.

Re: Tranquility

Could tell by the colors that this was yours.

Re: Plant More Air Fresheners

Praise the pollution fighters, hope you all love it!

Re: The Surveyor

Trying something different in style this week and imagined what if the roles were reversed when it came to expansion and instead of us infringing on the wildlife and natural resources around us to expand our society, the wildlife surveyed the land looking for ways to expand their society. Just a thought. I hope people dig it.

Re: delicate night

Thanks to Boots for the tee template!

Re: Our Own Dam Place

I saw it when you were looking for a title and feel in love. I particularly love the little touches like what's in hte picnic basket.

Love it +1

Re: Rush

Ohhh, I like the way this one looks. It reminds me of an old Threadless submission that I liked that never got made. Though yours is quite different it has sort of the same feeling.

Re: Tranquility

When I was younger, I used to do a lot of oil painting, and I wanted to get the same type of feel with this design. Hope you all enjoy

Re: Hibernature

As a kid, my family always used to go to Bear Mountain park in New York. A literal homage!

That is awesome. I love the colors. Also, you can't go wrong with deer.

Re: Our Own Dam Place

So good!

Re: Save the Trees

This is great!

Thank you!! Hope you like it! Animals deserve to enjoy their own open spaces!

In case you want a close-up to see the halftones

Re: Get Out of Your Cave!

Wow This is fantastic!!! Good luck!

If taken with the title this is a kinda sad.

Instead, I'm ignoring the title and choosing to take it as animals fighting back.

I wanted to try something different this week. Though at this point, mostly everything is new to me still (: So I hope you enjoy it, and any critiques are appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Re: Only Memories

oh, wow.

very nice.

Re: Woodland Sunrise

A squirrel has breakfast as the sun rises. 5 colors on navy.

Re: Open Your World

I present to you one of my favorite nature spot in Puerto Rico, "Las Cavernas del Rio Camuy".

This is one of the largest cave systems in the world and the largest in the Western Hemisphere.

This design is based on a picture I took while visiting the cave exactly a year ago.

ups.... this is the close up XD

Re: Trade Winds

Reminds me of a Banksy design.

Re: Only Memories

Well they say nature will start to take back over if we let it...

Re: Plant a tree

Hahaha... So funny!!!

Re: Eye Love Yellowstone

At first I thought this was also a reference to Starbuck's paintings in BSG as seen here. But then I noticed the colors didn't match... ah well.

Mildly depressing but beautifully drawn as usual!

Re: So close, So far

Amazing! I love it :D

Arrrrrr!! Sorry!I forgot (don't do things too quickly....) to thank Curli76 for the title!!!! It really rocks!:D:D

This is one of my favorites that you've ever done. I love the contrast, you did it perfectly. The dreary street perfectly frames the beautiful scene you've created. Your entries never fail to amaze me; always something so original.

loooooooooooove it!

Re: Only Memories

That rabbit's an amazing artist. I think this is my favorite of the airbrushed entries so far. Some of the others a bit too soft. I like having some hard edges to make the soft bits extra soft looking.
