Purchase this actual drawing on Etsy: [link]

I've decided that chalk pastels aren't exactly my favorite medium.

I don't like this drawing very much...I do like it sorta, but from my point of view it's got way too little detail for the amount of work I put into it. The fixative fumes have also permanently damaged my brayne.

I really do love the colors in it...I dunno...maybe I do like it. I'll decide tomorrow.

This was for a school assignment for complementary colors. I picked orange and blue as my two main colors. It had to be a landscape work and I decided to be influenced by Bierstadt in the style of this. Bierstadt was an American painter from the 1800's that would trek out into the frontier and paint fantastical paintings of the scenery and wildlife...and often what he painted was fabricated. He brought back the paintings of what he saw as part of a larger effort to persuade people to expand to the west. He's my father's favorite artist.

Chalk Pastels on 23"x30" cream stonehenge and 3-4 hours work.

EDIT May 5th, 2009: Thank you SO MUCH to ~imp-girl for featuring me in THIS news article!!!

EDIT August 10th, 2009: I've been featured in a "treasury" gallery on Etsy. The treasury expires on the 12th, but it's still neat while it's there. [link]

EDIT August 30, 2009: Another feature! Please go visit and fave it here! [link]

EDIT February 17th, 2010: No one told me if it was, but this must have been featured again...to have received no faves on this for a month then suddenly have five and counting in a few hours, it's gotta be a feature! Thank you, whoever you are! Edit again Now it's up to 11 from today! Yay!

EDIT February 18th, 2010: W00t! After 20 new faves in the last day I've hit 100 faves on this deviation! This is my third deviation to hit that mark. Thank you everybody, and thanks to =Sepulchral-Roses for being the 100th!
