Greener Pastures

The ABC Chronicles


If I ever make it to images without people (women in particular, obviously) I’ll be happy. I really need some new ideas.

Anyway, you would not believe how many ‘G’ words there are. I tried to capture some of them here… green, grass, Greek goddess?

I don’t know if it’s a bore having to listen to me go on and on about my illustration techniques, but like yesterday… I decided I can’t worry about things like that.

One thing I have to say is that I decided to level up a bit and try to learn at least one thing on these alphabet posts. So, in case you don’t notice, I did my first attempt at grass (after watching a tutorial).

While it seems a bit long and trampled on, I love it. It’s like a… well… green pasture. I get so tired of shapes depicting things… although the water and mountains are simply shapes, but honestly the grass required a LOT from my little laptop. CPU? Memory? RAM?

At one point things froze and I was sweating that I may have lost all of my work. Anyway, back to ‘G’ – I almost forgot that this goddess is holding something, and I’m pretty sure it’s a gift for her handsome gentleman.

It’s a little big for a laurel wreath – unless he is a giant of course. With a big head. Or perhaps he is a gargantuan. (Where is he, by the way)

Alright, that’s enough for now. Thank you for looking I hope you enjoyed!

    I love your illustration. 🩷
    When I first saw your picture, I was amazed because in my mind’s eye, that’s exactly the way I picture the Greek goddess Athena.
    Then when I read your post, I see you mention Greek goddess along with grass and green for the letter G.
