South Downs (& it's winner)

When I sketched this, I was thinking of Diamond Head on Oahu, which has a very distinct silhouette, looking at it from the right side shore. When I looked up photos of the South Downs, I was shocked to see that I didn't need to change the silhouette of the cliffs and bay at all. Kind of wild!
This feels Very Married to me. I can see them standing face to face, opening their coats and sharing a little pocket of warmth between them, not a word said or even glances shared. Just being together out at the end of all things, in a happy place.
And because it's the last day of the month, I'm going to consolidate the tasks and announce that the patron who gets this original piece is CatBoySpock! I hope you like this, and I'm very happy it's gonna be yours!
Again, and as always: thank you for being here with me. It means so much to me. This is my job, and I never thought I'd be doing something I love, doing it for this long! But it's because of you. I love ya.
