Book Challenge #19

This is the cover of a book I was reading called A Man Of Feeling by Javier Marias. I loved the picture so I attempted to draw it while I was at work. (I was bored) I had some watercolor pencils with me and I used Qtips to activate the watercolor. Little did I know that this is a famous painting by Edward Hopper.

IF: Forgotten: How did she get me here?

In this illustration the man has forgotten how she got him to this point. He thinks he making a big mistake, but the woman on the other hand is saying I got you now. Too bad marriage isn't forever like in our vows. I have been married for 25 years, longer than my own parents were married. My stepmother is only 9 years older than me.

IF:Worry

I try not to worry but pray. Although sometimes my concerns turn to worry. The end of this school year has caused me to go from the concern to worry mode. The CRCT test results for 2 of my children will determine if they get to move to the next grade. Even if they pass their classes for the year, one test will determine if they get to advance.

IF: "Wide" Open: Feeling Exposed

This painting was to express a feeling of being exposed. The space is wide open and empty. The young woman is trying to cover up what she can. She is alone with her shadow-self.

IF: Primitive: Slavery

This is originally entitled "Hiding from Slavery." There are so many things I would like to say about this drawing and what it evokes in me but I do not have the words to express my thoughts.
