I just stumbled across this drawing from a little over twenty years ago - right before I went to college. Colored pencil and India ink on wood.
There was this girl I liked whose parents were regular customers at the restaurant I worked at, and they bought this from me as a gift for her during my "leaving for art school" sale. She was a hell of a piano player.
Nine and a half years after that, she and I got married, and now we can finally hang this up in the new place. I kinda wonder if having the painting and the girl means I owe my in-laws their money back.
