pontificate

Pontificate: Long before the term was ecclesiasticalized, its Latin roots teamed up to connote bridge (pons) building (facere). Now there’s a switcheroo!

Whole Walnut Study

Ah, squirrel brains! I give up!
It all started this morning while I was cracking about two dozen walnuts, walnuts that I personally saw shaken from a tree. One came out whole; I photographed it and tried to draw it in Procreate. I got so far and simply stopped. Time was flying. Too much time.
Walnuts have always reminded me of squirrel brains. That hasn’t changed.

Technical: I used a reference photo that, if you want, you could purchase; I just referred to it, and drew freehand with liberties.

I learned today that the word tissue is related to text too. We often talk about the fabric of society, its many textures; but, what about the texture of the universe? What about universal tissue?
