This is a colored pencil painting that I did based on a photograph that I obtained from a local photographer. I met him at an art show and asked him how much he was asking. He told me that he felt that it didn't turn out and that I could have it for free. I told him that I too was an artist and wanted to base a painting on it. He told me he was fine with that and here is my version. I added the lone person entering the building. This was not a part of the original photo. The stormy sky certainly was and this lead to the title "In Before the Storm". The piece was done on matte surfaced Dura-lar polyester film using Prismacolor Verithin and Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils. The piece measures 8 inches X 10 inches. I hope that you enjoy and that there are no stormy skies in your day.
