Artist's Comments

A revision to the original Trail Blazing piece. My agent suggested that the piece may be more successful with a less monochromatic background, and allowing the dinosaur to be a bit less hidden. So I scanned the previous version hi-res, and then added some tints to the trees, and more contrast and spots to the dinosaur. Not sure which version I prefer. On one hand, I like my original concept, but on the other hand, I think the added colors round out the piece a bit. What do you think?

Watercolor and some colored pencil on cold press. 10" x 10"

I think the colors round out the picture very well.

I like it this way, (but I also kind of like the fact that the dinosaur was more hidden the first time.) But it does look a bit more "finished" in this version.

I think I like this one better...it seems to add a bit more "dimension" to the whole picture, in terms of the stuff going on (without it being "too much"). I didn't appreciate the background as much as I do now :)

I could go either way. I think this images, in both versions, is rather successful as the scene can be played out in 2 different moods.

I like the dinosaur in the back being hidden more in the first version, but the added purple in this one, as well as the trees, are very nice.

You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here.
