The Ruby Slipper



The April challenge for Enchanted Visions. It took such a long time to come up with something, and I like this result. It reminds me of a few pieces I did back in high school. If you can't tell, I miss winter. (Our winters are brown and dead, no snow) I was going to turn the bark of the tree into something different, but she ended up to have the appearance of crepe myrtle--which is one of my favorite tree surfaces--so I decided to leave her be. Also, I'm going to defend my simple background. Sometimes there is a necessity for simplicity, and I feel lately I've been going too busy in my backgrounds.

May 2011. 25 hrs. Prismacolor marker and colored pencil.
