Self Portrait IV-Waiting in the car

Pencil

4" x 4"

On my way to Queen of Arts show, a red light began to flash in my car. Luckily I wasn't that far out of town and my husband came to figure out the problem (low fluid in radiator). I began this drawing in the rear view mirror but didn't finish until after dinner tonight. No crows feet in my memory.

Okay, it's not a face but pomegranate means "apple of many seeds" and I was feeling like a mother of a large brood today, as I was matting all the art work I've done for "Queen of Arts"! I'm so tired, I hear my pillow beckoning me. I'm just not going to produce a face tonight.
