Another piece that seems very narrative...it's like a photograph. Who is she? Does she live in a rented room? Why? I love the questions that arise as I look at this, and I love where those questions take my imagination. What wonderful art you create!

Really beautiful janet, like from an old mystery magazine or movie! Love the red in it, as it adds to the mystery even more! Love this!!

Like an old movie still, a Film Noir. I totally dig the mysterious mood, the sulky rain and the woman whose fate we donĀ“t know. There is a same sense of abandonment about her than about your earlier piece for dance. Do they belong to one story?

I love this! Also agree with Sweet Pea and Carla, the first thought I had was of an old movie...hmm, were you thinking of one of the many old films you like to watch as you drew it? It does make your imagination wonder, where has she been and where is she going? What has she been up to on this dark, rainy night?
You are a truly talented artist Sis! Wish I had half your creativity when it comes to drawing!
Love you,
Dana

Hi Janet - that was a well timed hello - thanks! But I'm not really back as you'll see if you look again ;-)

I like the sensitivity of your drawing.

This image would translate really well as a dry point etching - even though about something wet...

OoOoOoOoOoooooo.....

Hey, I missed this one and the 'dance' one below... Where the heck have I been? Up til last week work and family were both way hectic. Really like the texture you got on both of these... great for setting the mood behind these pieces.

This is gorgeous-the mood, dark rainy night, going up the steps of an old hotel, chills, and i'd like to know more. Beautiful work and idea!

I must have missed this back in June. It has such a mysterious mood to it and I'm curious about her story. Makes for great illustration!!
