Nature Scene in Colored Pencil
I did this drawing back around the end of ‘06 maybe. It was the first time I just kind of let go and let whatever happen, happen. I knew I couldn’t draw so I wasn’t expecting much. There was just this image in my head. I saw this scary looking forest with trees that looked like they might reach out and grab you, or at least try to trap you in some way. There was a lake or a pond, which I saw as some place peaceful. A place of reflection, self-reflection. Then off a little ways there was this brilliantly colored tree that was just kind of bursting with life. I felt like I was caught some where between the forest and the pond. I want so badly to get to that tree. I want to be that tree. It sounds cheesey maybe but, that was how I was feeling.
