My Winter Holiday Dancer

[browngirl]

Holiday Dancer v 1 My favorite of the holiday cards I drew myself. Note her Eastern pose and Western colors and symbols.

As I said above, this drawing is, at least from within my little head, an East and West fusion. I drew it after reading a lot about Indian and Chinese art, and took the pose from dancing Indian deities. But the dancer is definetely meant to be European and her circle is a holly garland.

I don't know if anyone else saw that, but that's what I put in it, and I wanted to write an entry about it.

Yes -- love your card this year! I adore St. Lucia with dark skin. It makes me so happy.

When my friend drew her for me I was *ecstatic*. I love this card. I'll be sending it for many years to come.
