MIA/POW reworked


MIA/POW reworked
9x12
Colored Pencil
So the background on this picture always bothered me. It wasn't what I envisioned and looked washed out. Also it didn't give it the right feel.  The day I took the picture was a sweltering hot day in Eureka Springs Arkansas. I wanted that hot day and subject matter to merge better. Since I didn't have my Icarus board http://icarusart.net/ at the time I thought I could get the feel I wanted using it to get a good rich background this picture deserved. It took several tries with colors to get the right combinations but I think I got it. Which do you like better and why?
