This is the biggest picture I have done in a dry medium. about 10.5 by 16 inches. I had this idea for a picture ever since I saw this photo: [link] by

It is such a cool concept and I wanted to explore it. ^.^
unfortunately, I did not have time to do this drawing in the summer and after school started I figured that I would have to save it for later, but then I took a trip to a sort of art exhibit with a neighbor/close friend to our family who has always enthusiastically supported my artwork. The exhibit allows people to rent artwork from artists around the country and you get the keep the artwork for six months.

Well, I soon found out that this is very expensive but my neighbor desperately wanted to get a painting that was inspirational to her and reminded her, at the same time, of the fall season. Both her parents past away over the summer (as well as her uncle) and she's been having a rough time so we looked around for a while until i decided that I should just make her a picture. (the ones there weren't that great anyway ) So i did! And she was completely thrilled. It took me a week and she cried when I gave it to her and said it was better than anything she could have ever imagined and has a symbolic meaning to her already.
sorry for the long story, i just thought you should know why i made it.

So this picture no longer belongs to me but I wanted to get a picture in before I completely give it up.

The Title inspired by another song, In This Life by Delta Goodrem. I was racking my brain trying to think of a title and this song started playing on my itunes and i had an epiphany. XD It fits so well, especially for the person I am giving it to. So go listen to it!

Hope you enjoy! Critiques are always appreciated too ^^

Medium: charcoal & colored pencils
Time: about 25 hours
