Fighting the Winter Doldrums

I'll admit it.  I have been suffering from a sense of stagnation when it comes to accomplishing my artistic goals during this long, cold, seemingly-endless winter here in Michigan.  But then I am reminded that things could always be worse...

I have managed to nearly complete my most recent project entitled Legacy.  This is my most challenging project thus far.  I made the paper used for the smoke and clouds in the upper portion and painstakingly applied layer after layer until I was satisfied.  I know, it's rather depressing, but it fairly reflects my present state of mind.
