Hi, dear Hivers
I'm back after a long forced break. Things have not gone quite well for me lately; I have not been myself, but here I am trying to make the best of things.

The weather has been crappy in this part of Brazil. It is actually normal for this time of the year, but you know how things change when we are under the weather.

It has been hard for me to be optimistic these days, and the weather is not helping.

I was talking to my father earlier today about this annoying rain when he suggested that if I felt depressed, then I should make some depressing art and maybe that would be a way to do some catharsis and find my way back to my blog and to other things.

So, this drawing is the result of this conversation. I tried to reflect my current mood.

I used a basic cold pallette of colors, but added some yellow for the sake of optimism.

I know the sun will come up any time.

Coloring

Soft color pencils first; then some watercolors

I know I cannot change the weather. I just hope I can change the way I look at and feel about it.

If only it were as easy as turning the page upside down.Maybe it is...

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you liked my post.
