This will probably be the last of these to come with a disclaimer---after this, I'll use it only if I feel the content of the upload warrants it.
So far, my mother's art has been well received (thx, all!) and I want to keep it that way. :3

Grandfather Tree ...I'm unsure of the inspiration.

A FAIR WARNING:

Unlike me, my mother liked to look at pictures from coloring books and redraw them. Some of the drawings here are many years old and I don't know the inspirations/derivations of their sources. Additionally, my mother took a literal translation to symbols and cultural artifacts. For example, though she was a Christian, she made use of the 'Peace' sign, taking it for what she thought it meant/represented (I won't upload anything of hers that used that symbol).

I have also removed my mother's signature from her work, mostly because she signed everything with her real name. :P
Additionally, my mother (like me) was autistic, so some of her grammar, spelling and poetry may read oddly. ^^

Last, she had a thing for Native American art and symbols, but (so far as I know) she knew nothing about them (I could be wrong, but I know my mother only recently discovered the internet, and even then, she mostly stuck to FaceBook---I don't think she ever visited Wikipedia).
So, if anything of hers that I upload here offends you, know the art and the person who made it came from a good place. Still don't like it and aren't mature enough to look away? Ok, cry to a moderator and not to me---I'll not take any of it down voluntarily (accept that any way you like).

Grandfather Tree was the home of The Wolf Riders, the main group of elves from Elf Quest. It was basically a generational home to the Wolf Riders until they were forced to leave by a group of humans who thought they were demons.  
Your mothers interpretation is MUCH different from the way it was depicted in the story and that's interesting in itself but not without precedence considering how the story progressed over the years.

Two final things about this.

1. I LOVE the line work your mother did on this. It's strong and sure and REALLY shows her skill with a pen and ink. She could have been an inker for either Marvel or DC no doubt.

and

2. This is probably my favorite piece of hers and I REALLY would love to know what she was thinking when she did it because it's SO DIFFERENT from her other work.

Oh my! :O

I kinda wish I'd drawn something for her to dot (but I'd not put her through it---her hands gave her a LOT of trouble in her final days).
Something that may be of interest to you is my mother (like some of my pencils) was left-handed. ^_^

Then she and I share something because for the most part I'm a lefty too. (I say for the most part because I'm ambidextrous but favor left hand for writing and drawing.)  :D
