Crossing the River Styx

June 2, 2026

In a lot of cultures, when one passes away, one needs to pay the Journeyman to Cross the River Styx.

Shoreline with a black river running through the lower third of the canvas against a cerulean blue sky. A bi-plane is positioned in the upper right hand corner, with the full moon to it's left and rain clouds underneath it. To the left, on the top of the bank are three trees. On the river is a wooden boat, on it's way to the other shore, grey fish in the water along with two snakes. 5 mini origami sail boats are floating by on the right. The entire canvas is edged with pennies.
White canvas, with post it notes, banana paper to create shoreline, on both sides of a large white canvas

Starting with laying out the basic concept in my brain.
