Another One in the Works!

Here is the latest colored pencil drawing. I started it a few days ago and am having fun working on it. I would love to finish it before we return to school, but we'll see. I took some pictures of the progression so far. I started an oil painting of the same concept years ago (probably around 2000) and I haven't touched it since. Oil paint is so expensive, stinky, and full of chemicals... and even though I LOVE OIL,  I just don't see myself working on it during the school year because the set up and break down is so time consuming, but I wanted to finish the concept. The color pencils are as rich as the oil paint... and less of a pain... so here it is so far. :) 





The pictures aren't great, but you get the idea! :) Happy New Year!

Oh, Cha...Immediately I saw such hope, such tenacity, such yearning for the greening of the planet - and a prophecy for a future of a global realization of the interdependence of all of us, one to another - every living thing - the total meaning and message of Gaia...
