I did not realize it as I was drawing, but this is quite obviously Bettina, my piano accordion. I have been practicing with her daily in advance of the Welcome Yule! show this coming weekend.
Here comes a month of mostly black-and-white art, in preparation for a January show at the Harmony Collective Artist Gallery with the theme of Black/White. In this month of short days and long nights the theme seems appropriate, but I will allow myself splashes of colors if I need them!
I have had a few days of my body aching and feeling not great, and I was feeling anxious and afraid. So I drew that. But I didn’t want to dwell in that feeling, so I covered it with grapevines. And then I felt better.
