Days Gone By

Yes, I am still alive. No, I'm not going to explain why I've been absent this entire year. At least not yet.

"Days Gone By" is probably my favorite song off the album, and I've been wanting to render it in line and color since first I heard it. I held back though, for lack of a good enough concept and a desire to do the song justice, but when I saw the Apples' parents in "The Perfect Pear" I finally had something to work with. I suppose I should be happy it turned out half-way decent, what with my painting skills being dulled by disuse for the better part of a year. It seemed a shame to break a five year tradition though, so here you go. Merry Christmas, people!

Watercolor on 9x12 140 lb. Strathmore watercolor paper. Finished: 12/5/17.
