Made this for the School of Art Open House Art Sale. No one liked it enough to buy it.
Meant to make three more of these, one for each element. The Phoenix represents fire, obviously. Anyway, feeling a little depressed about it so maybe I'll write more about it later.
Pen, ink and colored pencil on Arches 90lbs. cold press. ~4-5 hours
Ohh man, I really think this is just beautiful. I love the swirls following the phoenix, it looks so smokey and gorgeous. Was that heart at the end of the tail intentional? Hmm. I was just thinking.. maybe if you colored the whispies behind the phoenix a deep violet, it might stand out more. Anyway, I love it. You did an amazing job and it's a shame no one purchased it.

Guess what? I got a fever, and the only prescription is more COWBELL.
Well, I didn't really get a chance to do any pricing research so I was asking for $25. I didn't think it was that much, just considering the amount of time I spent on it. Thanks for your comments!
Yeah, violet might've been a good idea. Actually, part of the reason the phoenix in my Phoenix painting stands out so well is that I mixed a lot of blue into the black paint. The heart is intentional, as are a number of possibly familliar pacific northwest indian motifs.
