Ear / Dance

22" x 28" silver paint on black paperboard

My "little" brother David (who is a bunch taller than I am) was about to rent his first apartment on The Plaza
in Kansas City (MO).  Big excitement all 'round!  I asked him what he would like for a housewarming gift.
He said:  "Paint something for me, Acca." [Acca is the word for older sister in our language, Tamil.] 
I made this picture for him in my hope that his ear will only ever hear the sounds that make his heart dance for joy!
