Asher Lev’s heart

I’ve been reading Chaim Potok’s My Name is Asher Lev, in which the title character is an artist going through a deep inner struggle. I think I saw bits of my own inner struggles in it, and it inspired me to do this picture. It’s in Prismacolor soft pastels. I haven’t used pastels in a couple of years, so it’s pretty rough. And I was just kind of messing around, so there’s no foresight in it in terms of design.
