My wife and I went to a National Park in Colombia after a friends wedding a few years ago. We had an odd experience of feeling lost and anxious but still excited and curious. I've been making drawings from that reference material since. This is also one of the few pieces I have so far where I'm introducing watercolor into the drawing process.
