Fenced In

Each board is shaded differently to capture the difference in the real life boards' textures. Little details in the boards help capture this sense of realism. The moss at the bottom of the fence's boards bring about a certain look of light. There's a clear look of morning in this piece. The leaves, which serve as the main focal point, have been individually drawn and depicted with a different color pencil than the brunt of the moss. The framing of this picture makes the leaves look like a bright hand reaching for escape, a still of an unseen life. The biggest downside to the piece is that it feels a bit flat, despite the plant seeming on a different layer than the boards.
