Velvet Swamp

Deep within the Luminous Wilds lies a place where the air tastes of damp moss and ancient magic. They call it the Velvet Swamp—a realm of violet mists and water that flows like liquid amethyst.
In the heart of the mire, you might stumble upon a this guardian as he sits in silent vigil, his back heavy with glowing spores that light the way for the small, lost things of the woods.
To some, he is a simple dweller of the bog. To those who know the old stories, he is the anchor of the swamp, holding the fog at bay with every steady breath.

This original painting measures 14” x 11” and was created with watercolor on Arches 140lb watercolor paper, mounted to a board.
