The backpack and water bottle were referenced from life, for the person I didn't use a reference.
I started this painting back in September but it's taken me ages to finish. I took a long pause from start to finish after being a bit overwhelmed with the sheer complexity of this.
Much thanks to `memod for his pushing me to continue and for all his helpful critiques. It may have started as a gift for my mother but my dedication for this painting is to Dan.

This turned out soooooooo well, I am proud of you, Gracie <3 You have no idea how happy I am that you did not give up on this and finished it, it looks wonderful. There is so much variation, so much detail work, and the fun you had painting it in the end is very much visible. As usual, your feeling for colours is really good, they add so much to this piece, and give it a lot of depth, too. Such a lush green <3 Haha, I'll use that as my refreshener from my painting
Hehe, I think you know how much I love this piece, so I will stop to babble, haha.

How very true. And it reminds me of a beautiful quote, from Castaway, "The most beautiful thing in the world is the world itself"
I think what makes this shine the most, other than of course the gorgeous light filtering through the foliage and illuminating the green to a luscious world of emerald, is just how small the hiker seems. How incorporated she is. And the very fact that her face isn't shown. An anonymous presence. And hence creating and conveying, effortlessly, your simple and beautiful message.
I am very happy to see you submitting again dear.
And will always look forward to seeing more.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
