I invite all to share their idea of what story this 2-color sketch tells...

For Decima

I promised to show you something beautiful, Decima. So here it is. The best violinists and pianist ever recorded. Period.

Josef Hassid, Michael Rabin, and the incredible Gyorgy Cziffra. For Cziffra, you may have to forward to around 1:40 on the recording - a lot of conversation in French, which I, unfortunately, don't understand...

And then, because I just now thought of it, the "Close to You" sequence from the movie Mirrormask. Also, if you want to hear a gorgeous rendition of "The Man that Got Away," go to jeffbuckley.com, click on media player, in the popup drop-down box on the right, click on albums, then choose the third album from the bottom - you'll find it in there. Like always, his voice is haunting.

So there you have it.

Oh, and, I miss you, friend.

Two-color Study No. 2

This is an attempt at telling a bit of our story. Not sure how successful it is - my husband says it looks "creepy," and I have to agree. Maybe it's the colors? Blood-red and cadaverous green don't end up being such a cheerful mixture... oh well. Does anyone have any ideas as to what would make it more...hang-up-on-the-wall-at-home-and-enjoy-able?
Because at this point, I think it looks like the cover of a teen novel.
I guess I'll add this to my list of dubious works - the Dub list. Along with the portrait of my husband I couldn't finish last week because it was too awful. And I won't post it either - the background was mediocre, and while the draping was good, the facial features resembled a waxworks more than my husband. I ended up ripping it off the work board in frustration.
I have a lot of work and learning to do.
