I went back into this drawing and clarified some of the important details of my childhood home that were in my original blind contour. I also added larger images to balance out the smallness of the blind contour based imagery. I liked using the black pen and then highlighting with the white pen and wax on the toned paper.

My original response from the story was very literal and busy, like the Memory drawing was. I thought an abandoned dead tree stump was a more simplified solution to the overall theme of the story. I liked layering the oil pastel and the chalk pastel, and using the mixed media to create drops of dew and mossy areas.
