Joanna Newsom, “Sawdust & Diamonds”

I was busily pulling muted fabrics from my stash, ironing, and cutting them, listening to my randomized iTunes library. But there was a lightning bolt and I had to put it on paper, no matter what, so I shut off the iron and pulled out my watercolors.

I've always had the tendency toward subject focus - even when I was a little kid with a coloring book, I always colored in the animal and neglected the background. Quick sketches are still usually like this. Pay no attention to the curtain at all, let alone the man behind it.
