Witches Garden Original Illustration

Witches Garden, an original 11"x14" illustration on Strathmore mixed media 90 lb. paper was inspired by an Inktober 2019 prompt. 

Instead of the creepy stereotypical witch, I chose to depict a green witch out in nature surrounded by plants with different uses and meanings. The garden is filled with sage, foxglove, dill, lavender, and other medicinal plants. Pictures from my youngest daughter's dance recital became the figures celebrating the natural world as the sun's light casts its energy thru the dappled leaves and the winds swirls playfully around them.
