New work inspired!

Thanks to Illustration Friday I have some really good brain fodder to work with! I am determined to take my work to the next level this year... the piece I did for last weeks topic, "soar," is something I want to play with more and it actually made me get my canvases prepared and get my pastels out. I am going to play with the idea of origami birds added to my pastel background. I will post when I come up with a good solution (I have a some ideas in mind, but I'm not sure if I will like the results...) The picture isn't great, I need a new /better camera. The flash is blowing out all the detail in the trees, but you can see the basic result :) Julie
