#inktober Day 7: Exhausted A few years ago, I painted a piece with deer carrying forest on their backs. It was about balance, the natural world, and the soul of the woods. But what happens when that balance is destroyed? When the forest is obliterated? Many of these spirits simply fade into the ash and desolation, sinking down, down, down into the waste. But a few stagger on, the seed of renewal carried in their hearts, shaking to dust with each step. Hoping, praying- determined to find a place where life can begin anew. I love the ink bloom that just happened ππ #amelialeonardsart #art #Artist #artwork #fantasy #fantasyart #fantasyartist #fantasyartwork #painting #ink #inkpainting #inkart #inktoberchallenge #inktober #inktober2018 #day7exhausted #inktoberday7 #fae #fairy #faerie #earth #stag #forestspirit #forest #deer #instaartist #instaart #walnutink (at Rockport, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BopK8FeBl2c/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zzxu0b0x3cf2
