Dip pens and india ink, on 9x12 board.

I haven't posted much lately because I'm panicking.  Not really, but I've just been offered a chance to put together an exhibit at a local gallery, and of course, all of the sudden, all my stuff looks like crap.  So I'm trying to produce some illustrations that won't look out of place on a gallery wall.  Yikes.

My show will be called "Sticks 'n' Stones" and will be a mix of nature drawings and portraits of people who have endured much hardship but gone on to accomplish great things.  Get the double meaning in the title?  Anyway, this is the first picture that I think I will actually exhibit.  I've got to do at least 12 more by May...
