This morning I wanted to do a pastel pencil picture on 9×12 black paper, so I looked through all my photo books and found a photo of petrified trees in the desert in Namibia. It is not pastel pencils, however, because I didn’t think my black paper could handle it, so I did it with prismacolor colored pencils.


For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. — Isaiah 55:12
