Illustration Friday- "The Blues"


It's funny how life works sometimes. I've been kicking around ideas for the weekly illustration theme. While doing so, I was slashing loose drawings with these Rembrandt oil pastels. I tried ironing the drawing onto another surface, but it wouldn't transfer. So I drew into it some more. Then I started trimming off edges right and left, till all that remained was the central image. Then a phrase from a discarded library book page surfaced, and fit the image, so it got added. Oh, OK, so it is The Blues. I was trying way too hard. When I slowed down it caught me.
