This is another that was based on a sketch while flying to (or from) Portland, Oregon. I had a pretty long time to wait in the airports and on the plane, so you might be seeing a few more of those! Anyway, I haven't decided if this picture tells a story of loneliness or contentment. I'd like to think it's the latter, but maybe that's just me trying to be optimisic. Is it a young man stopping on his walk home after a perfect Sunday afternoon in town, or is it an older man, visiting the place where he proposed to his long since passed love? I honestly don't know, it hasn't really told me yet.

I did most of this picture in one day, then stared at it for about 2 weeks, adding little touches here and there. The paper it's on is a beautiful, rich orange, and I actually just left the paper on its own for the sky. I figured there was no media I had that was going to possibly improve that color, so I left it as is.
