Behind Closed Doors
hand colored etching
Music is part of what makes us human and we learn to love it at an early age. I performed many of these solo, audienceless concerts when I was growing up, and I admit to still being a compulsive car radio singer. People who see me driving down the road probably think I am insane, but I NEED to sing and sing out loud!
I admit to a slight cheat this week. I took an early stage of an old etching and added watercolor to emphasize the figure a little better. So it only reached this finish state today, but its not technically a brand new piece. In my defense, I have 23 people showing up at my house tomorrow morning and Thanksgiving is only a vacation for those who don't have to cook :). Regardless, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It is all about family and gratefulness for blessings. It also crosses religious and cultural boundaries that otherwise tend to divide us as a nation. I truly love Thanksgiving and I hope you all have a wonderful, love (and food) filled holiday.
I sing out loud in the car by myself too. I know just what you mean. Nice work!
