Migraine Paintings
I’ve been doing these quick little pastel drawings when I’ve not have time to really even think. In looking back on them, the colors seem to really mirror the colors I have been seeing during my recent migraines. So I guess that’s what they’ll I’ll call them – migraine paintings!
