Long Road Home

This is a commission I did for a friend of mine, a doctor who wanted a piece for his new office.  I am excited to have my work displayed in a visible setting, seen by a lot of people.  Between the sky, the hills, and the road, I think this piece has a soft and natural feel.    I aimed for a realistic look, while stopping short of true photorealism.  I achieved this by using dull, soft pencils.  The paper itself is pretty smooth, but with the dull pencils a rough texture resulted.  Because of its greater expressiveness and slightly reduced detail, this piece was finished very quickly.
