Flying Farmer

This piece is from very early in my return to the art world. I had been working as a 9-5 business person and not making art and not knowing anything about myself and feeling very lost. And then I quit my corporate life and almost immediately, the art started to come. These early pieces were very surreal. Very foreign. Maybe because I was so far removed from nature back then that nature seemed alien? I don't know. During this period, I was in awe of the incredibly vivid colors in nature and disturbed by the way most folks just walk past incredible reds and blues and greens. I felt that if I shook things up a bit and swapped out the colors of the land for the colors of the sky, etc., then those hues might get the attention they deserve.

This flying farmer was one of my very first flying and floating characters and I hope this piece will bring a hopeful bit of magic to your home or office.

These colored pencil pieces are VERY labor intensive. I probably worked on this drawing for a couple of weeks. Back then I needed more time to find my way than I do today. And these colors required many many many layers in order to reach the depth and the subtle transitions that you see here.
