Ringing with Envy

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord! Acheived through dozens of layers of Oil Pastel, I am proud of this peice. As I worked throuh the peice I stuggled in attempting to create the right colors with the 9 color of pastel that were available. In the orginal photo, one would notice the bells have nearly no shadow and are on a solid white background. This is due to their placement on a white polyfleece blanket, allowing me to create a background from my imagination, and the backgrohnd I chose had a rather stricking effect when I finished. Far away, the warping metal of the bells simply looks like a metal skirt, yet under the close proximity the peice was done, one might see a portal to another world.
