EDM Challenge #49 (Fridge)


Although this is not my fridge, its just an ordinary fridge with a copper penny sittin underneath. Right now I am staying at my girlfriends brothers house (under some tense conditions) while we are preparing to drive back to California from Texas.
When I saw this EDM challenge, I felt a little uncomfortable with it . . . not being my fridge and all. It just seemed weird to draw someone elses fridge. Almost as if I was reading someones diary and sharing it with complete strangers. To a slightly less degree of course.
As I sit here looking at the picture I drew, I feel that in a since it represents how I feel. I have quit a load of complications in my life right now, and to expose myself complete; pulling my own covers, would be too risky. Which is maybe why I opened the fridge and freezer compartments and decided to close the fridge and just draw the freezer compartment. I am not willing to open all the way up.
To explain the picture a little, there are drawings hanging on the fridge. They were drawn by my girlfriends niece and nephew(Stacie-4yrs. & Jon-Jon- 5yrs). I am not sure if you can see it, but the picture that is directly in the middle of the fridge is a tracing of a hand. It is so cute. I love how children trace their own hands when they are young, 'cause they come out so chubby. Maybe thats why I left the door closed. I dont know.

Size 8 1/2" x 11"
Date drawn: Jan. 12th, 2006

I think that your drawing is very expressive. To be honest I don't think that I would want anyone drawing my fridge. I haven't even done it myself. I'm too afraid of what I might see. I hope that things smooth out for you. Jean

You did a wonderful job considering all that is going on in your life!

May you open a refrigerator door to new and wonderful things.

Wonderful job. Even the crayons

I was more excited about owning a refridgerator than a house when I bought both. They are very personal.

Hey, you did a great job with this, particularly with all the angles. Well done. :o)
