..4 days without electric and only a fireside and candle light to express by... glad to be back...! Survival came out in this one...ink wash on watercolour stock...
~A very inspirational 2005 to all!
This one is a show stopper, this has a lot of power especially given the title of it. What I ask is the significance of a tree being hugged someone showing fear in the face, who looks directly at me? Very very interesting piece of art. Make me ponder, which is a good thing but also hits me on an emotional level, A+
Another powerful and mysterious feeling to this work. You really can create powerful emotions through your pencil work ..a tough task indeed. Glad your ok from that storm ..my girls parents live in Ohio so we heard a lot about it. Take care.
