Worn - Illustration Friday #9



A bit weary and worn, she kept hiking only to find the expanse below.

I thought of trying something a little different this week, since the word has me tapping my head for ideas...not sure if this works, but I had fun keeping to the small palette. 
I love comments, please let me hear 'em, good or bad!

    Love the small palette, there is something about the different shades of gray that just sighs worn. Beautiful work.

    Hello Shirley, thank you for stopping by. Oh my, I feel sorry for her, I am a bit scared for her too because if that were me I would have collapsed from disorientation. It reminds me of a trip to the the Rocky Mountains above the tundra, that expanse was enough to disorient me. Very effective and your words profound.

    I like the limited palette. You captured the feeling of the first sentence in your post quite well! It's lovely and scary! :)

    Thanks for your comments on my blog!
