Small snippet of something I was working on for the winter season. They put their ears together to collect sound better, like an owl's facial dish.

In this May 14, 1926 photo, Matthew A. Henson points to a map of the North Pole. Henson was one of Robert E. Peary's crew on seven voyages over nearly 23 years. They and a team of Inuit guides planted a U.S. flag at the North Pole in April 1909, making them the first modern team to reach that point. In 1912, Henson published a memoir entitled A Negro Explorer at the North Pole. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Of the gladdest moments in human life, methinks, is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands. Shaking off with one mighty effort the fetters of habit, the leaden weight of routine, the cloak of many cares and the slavery of civilisation, man feels once more happy.
- Sir Richard Francis Burton, explorer and author

"Winter Coat"
People like Mira don't have an upper limit for hair growth. Pretty impractical most of the time, except when you're traveling in the cold, provided you don't mind the mess.
Last painting of 2023. This was intended to be a quick winter piece, but I couldn't help myself and it ended up becoming a lot more. It's also been a while since I painted snow, so that was a nice change of pace from my usual.
