This is wonderful Viva, so moody and complex. I too feel like I know this moment, a very moving and relatable expression of "nature's secrets".

VIVA, today has allowed for several WONDERFUL visits to your beautiful portfolio! I am so pleased to explore more of your TEXTURES ...in your AUSTRALIA COLLECTION. You already well know my fascination with garlic...well, it extends to most organics...certainly trees! Your “tree bark series is magnificent! ...ah, this charcoal rendering...DEEP rooted spaces of memory...the FEEL OF CHARCOAL RUBBING out, filling in ...awareness of Light in Darkness...numinous, Inspired. BRAVA! These moments are most often painfully insighted.
