OH LYDIA! © June 23, 1990 by Donna L. Faber. This is one of my absolute favorites. She is a very naughty girl, but also a study in depth and character! The original is 16”x24”, done in pen and ink with just a touch of black pencil on Bristol Water Color paper.
The year 1990 was twenty years ago. I don’t know if I’ve changed all that much, but I know that my perspective certainly has. Then, I was 26 years old, and we’d recently moved back to San Francisco from our first two year period in Connecticut (which was a disappointment). It was a difficult time, and I was feeling very boxed in. I had unresolved issues about my parents, brought a lot of angst into adulthood (and was thereby completely unprepared for it), and kept running into my own wall of anger. The last thing I wanted to feel at this point was exposed and vulnerable. And yet somehow I did.
In retrospect, I’d say this piece was rather appropriate.
