Day 26: Black

I have been looking forward to Black.  I cheated a little.  I wanted to go back to that childhood activity where you color many colors, cover it all over with black and scratched back into it (I used a popsicle stick to etch).

Today  I returned from my cruise.  We have an old friend, Dmitri, visiting.  He was my husband's friend when they were in music school together.  Than I lived with him and my now-husband.

Without really  thinking about it, I drew (etched) a figure that I used to draw, paint and sculpt while I was in college.  This is a crouching, sad, female figure. Maybe Dmitri is reminding me of another me.  Maybe I just wanted to return to another time when I was younger.  Maybe I am feeling sad today.
