This is how all of my artwork starts out, as an idea (or two, or three) and I take what I see in my mind and put it on small study panels. These panels are generally no bigger than 11x14 and are only meant for quick studies. In this, I had two images in mind, one is a close up of Harriet Tubman going through the woods with three runaway slaves, and the other is the same painting, but more pulled back. I put it up for a vote and most people who saw it, voted for the second one, as it conveys the magnitude of their situation and the fear they faced. These panels were created back in early December 2018.
