This is an image that I saw in the newspaper from some stories on hurricane Katrina and couldn't get it out of my mind. It's colored pencil on Mi-Teintes paper. The skin tones kicked my butt on this one.
Just coming back from Mississippi Saturday Oct 27,2007 I can tell you the time you spent on this one was well worth it continue to pray for these of Lousianna, Mississippi and the Guilf Coast ...they are no where near Normal or healed or helped !!!! A wonderful creation you've done here Ron heartfelt !!
What a great expressive piece. It shows so much emotion and you've captured it with your colored pencils. The tones would've been hard, but you definitely pulled it off. Great job Ron!
It brings tears to my eyes...very poigniant image...excellent attention to detail..Love the tear filled eyes filled with despair and sorrow.Excellent work..very well done.
