"The Calvary: War, Conquest, Famine and Death" colored pencils, approximately 16 hours. (16 in x 10 in)

These pieces were completed as part of a project focusing around mythology. I chose to depict the four horsemen of the apocalypse from the Judeo-Christian faith. The pieces were meant to seem like stained glass, because religious pieces are typically done in the medium. I incorporated symbols from the story as well. Each horse has a weapon; sword, arrow, balance, and scythe. They also have their own smaller symbol as well; dove, crown, barley and a skull/hourglass. Next to the symbol is either the Lion of Judah or the Lamb of God, which is present in the story as well. These pieces required a great deal of symmetry and display repetition in the similarities of each piece.
