Death: A Beginning

Death: A Beginning

A painful place

to start an escape

from the past.

An initial sketch from back at the beginning when searching for where to begin.

Finally ready for a second pass. Attempting final illustrations.

Feeling just a  little closer to death.

To be in the woods

instead of here.

There before

the snow

disappears.
