What’s on the walls? Animals? Aliens? Eclipses?

Cave paintings are painted drawings on cave walls or ceilings, mainly of prehistoric origin. The paintings are remarkably similar around the world, with animals being common subjects that give the most impressive images. The earliest known cave paintings/drawings of animals are at least 35,000 years old and were found in caves in the district of Maros, located in Bantimurung district, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, according to datings announced in 2014.
There are also examples of eclipses and other sky events. Aliens show up frequently as well.

Actually, I'm going to change it to just lurking for now, because I started painting, and I am absolutely hating what I made. I don't want to struggle with the concept and end up at the deadline with no cards! I'll sign up for sure if I can perfect the cards a bit.

Oh no---Hope you keep at it and get your muse going.
 
Bu Bay Lai,

I received your amazing art cards and thank-you for all the wonderful art and goodies you included. I love them.
