Thank you, @agmoore.
It's a joy to read you here. I greatly appreciate the return of the contests. It is very motivating.
I would love to be able to improve my technique so I can get closer to what I imagine, no doubt the contests offer an opportunity to push the practice and strive to do better.
There is a very beautiful (and terrible) essay by Thomas de Quincey entitled Levana and Our Ladies of Sorrow that I remembered a lot while making this collage, because I wanted to achieve something similar to his tone. Of course, I didn't succeed, but aspiring is never too much... hehehe....
A big hug. Thanks for stopping by and encouraging me to continue.
