A piece on a walnut slab, one of my favorite surfaces. 13x14 or so, with bark and all the knots and oddities.

You really have a talent for the lighting. It's impressive! ^^
One technical question: How do you keep these wooden plates from breaking? I wanted to draw on wood myself a bit ago but before I even started the slices "worked" on and that resulted in some very ugly cracks. However, I also know my grandma had a saying on such a plate hanging on the wall for at least 50 years without a change, so.. How do you do that?

Beautiful as always, the hard lighting and the look in its face make it a strangely emotional piece.
