So in 2013, I thought I should attempt to focus a bit more, so I'm going to just stay with exploring Colored Pencil. These are my drawings from the past...I'll see how I improve...or get more done.

Walking Through the Valley with the Shadow of Death
Here's what the real painting turned out like. I ended up working off a very bad photo I took last week at the opening of Art Town of the 4th Street Marching Band. Death was just a guy on stilts, and the guy in the left corner an observer. Even though it was nothing like I had originally thought about, it ended up being closer to what was really going on inside my head about death and how life is a valley always overshadowed by death, and that's not always morbid, but can, at times, be extremely comforting.
Value Study for Walking Through the Valley
This is the value study I did for Walking Through the Valley with the Shadow of Death, which ended up being nothing like it. I used the study to attempt a painting, but the painting just never had the same impact as the drawing so I painted over the first start...something I seem to be doing a lot of these days.
