I made this little video in response to a prompt: What are the talismans that have gotten you through these months? What will you be taking with you into the New Year? (Thank you, wmc.)

Who was Cassandra?
In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.
loved watching you draw! The watercolor with all the blues is wonderful.
I'm watching a series on youtube called The Mind of Watercolor. If you want a lock down project try doing some videos on how to paint. Bet you'll find an audience!

Beth, I LOVE watching your hand and pen moving over the paper like a creature with a life of its own, the spidery lines and shapes growing magically, creating a universe that wasn't there before. Wonderful! Is there a soundtrack? I didn't hear one but that might just be my poor hearing.
Your drawings in this post are lovely too, especially the first one. Bravo for conquering with your attentive energy the Covid19-induced paralysis and frustration which infects us all.
