This is a unique, stylish, and interesting piece in which the background is a character in its own right. The drawing is very accurate ...

Watchers

I had an unusually busy weekend! On Thursday my husband J and I went to a dinner for Japanese immigrants and people learning Japanese. I met a woman who had just moved to the USA a few weeks ago and barely spoke English. I tried to use my clumsy Japanese, because I remember what it felt like to be silent while others would talk and laugh in a foreign language. I haven't studied much since living there, but I have to keep it up or else I'll forget everything. :grump:

On Saturday we went to a wedding in the next state over. I didn't know the couple (they were J's friends), but I was moved. It's like experiencing our wedding all over again. :love: I also got to spend 6 hours in a car with J's high school friends, which was surprisingly fun and not annoying.

On Sunday we drove back and went straight to an opera. Some friends had gotten us tickets to an excellent performance of Verdi's Aida. Being a big ol' music nerd, I had a wonderful time, but J didn't like it because the plot was so drawn-out, and each time a character had a feeling, they sang about it for 5 or 10 minutes. Afterwards we were both so tired of acting sophisticated that we went home and ate ice cream while watching Ghostbusters. The end.

Also - last week I finished drawing Varya! Eeeeee. [link]

I am grateful for every comment, favorite, and watch! I often comment on people's work in return. Since I’m watching a lot of people already, I don’t always give watch-for-watch anymore. Please don’t feel down if I don’t watch you back right away – sometimes it takes me a while to get to know you through your comments or art.
That said, if I watch you, there's no obligation to watch me back :)

:bulletorange: Comments! :bulletorange:
My favorite kind of feedback is a good comment. I love it when people tell me why they like something (or even why they don’t like it). I joined deviantART back in 2005, and this embarrassingly old piece of mine [link] shows the kind of comments and critique people gave back then. That community spirit helped me a lot, so I try to give that kind of feedback when I can.

Actually, I was talking to a friend about how you'd apparently dropped off the face of the earth, and he noticed that you'd put a link to your new gallery on your old page - something I'd entirely overlooked. I was just really excited to see you were back, though. :D

Please link them to me or me to them, because I would love to make up for lost time. Y'all are going to make me want to draw anthro horses again...
