45 Minute Discoveries About Faces

It’s great to put the eraser down and be playful.  It’s great to get your hand off of the table and let fingers fly.  Unbelievable!  Such discovery as one abandons the “I want to learn how to draw, technically speaking.” for that place that is…”I have something inside me that can pour out of my fingers, if I am allowed to be free.”

These Junior High drawings…more, the process of getting there…was like watching magic spill out of these beautiful children.

In the traditional sense…this is what you get.

(I located several awesome HOW TO DRAW worksheets on line.  My readers may want to google around and I find one of those.  For the purpose of this blog, I’ve drawn a quick step by step, on my own…five minute drawing, but it should help.)

New Digs

It was a rainy day and I enjoyed driving to my daughter’s neck-of-the-woods in order to check out her new ‘digs’.  We chilled, grabbed some Thai food (she is in a great location), wandered a second-hand shop and shared some laughter over various and unrelated topics.  I love seeing her so relaxed, pom pom slippers and all, surrounded by places she enjoys and good people. Good to see that she’s sticking to using existing holes on those walls as well! :0) Congratulations, sweetie.
