[TAGS] My new tactile painting

[Donald Winiecki]

Aishwarya,
Marvelous rendition! You have indeed captured the elements you describe. I
can vividly imagine interrogating the painting with my hands, and learning
how Sirius Black (as a dog) is investigating and then entering the hole in
the twisted tree trunks as Harry Potter orbits the night sky above!

I am curious what materials you have used?

Best,

_don
