A Couple of Old Pictures

I'm at my parents' house, and my sister and I have been throwing out all our old papers.  We ran into some photos in my sister's pile, and I thought these were really cute.

Cello Drawing Series, 2000

I know I haven't written in a while.  It turns out that the Lovett stuff I wrote about in my last post actually happened these past 4 months, so I've had to drop the ball with my memoirs a bit.  Mom and Dad are cleaning out their house so they can start putting it on the market in the spring, and the slab for Snake Mountain is scheduled to be poured in four days.  Now that it's the night before I travel back home for the holidays, I'm trying to organize, delete, and back up files on my computer.

I really loved creating this drawing series with hand smudges and watercolor colored pencils.  My ex-girlfriend was a cellist, and I gave the series to her.  They were thrown out many years ago, and for the past couple decades, I knew they would live on only in my memories.  Then my parents ran across these old slides.  If you should care to, look out for scrolls, bridges, f-holes, bows & bow tips, fingerboards, tailpieces, and endpins.  Old blurry slides drawn by a random teenager aren't for everyone, but this was my last series before I quit art and pursued piano in college, so it's kind of special to me.
