Every boy seems to dream of being a soldier. This is an early drawing of mine from way WAY back. I am posting this in honor of all those boys who have sacrificed their lives for our Freedom.
Happy Memorial Day! And this is a lovely sketch - it's weird going back through your older work, isn't it? I often get embarrassed by my older artwork for some reason.
A very nice piece of artwork Sissy...you say it all in a few lines. It is interesting the fascination that little boys have with war...and a damnable shame that they ever have to find out the reality. On a lighter note have a Happy June...do you think perhaps spring has finally arrived??? Love you.
A midget who told me, when I was depressed about people making fun of me because we had no money and no new clothes and I was wearing everything second handed. He told me, "You are the only one in the world, make the most of it."

FILLS MY EYES...
When I see something unexpected, unusual, or beautiful, my focus suddenly sharpens and intensifies. The sensation tickles! That's when I say something "fills my eyes." It is the greatest compliment I can give.
My Camera and Me
I carry my camera everywhere I go. Here you see one of my Cloud Paintings. I find unusual shapes, faces, animals in just about everything, especially clouds. Often I am able to enhance or "paint" my photos so others can see what my imagination has revealed.
What an honor to be a featured artist for this wonderful webpage!
A Fairytale Mind
This is a link to my favorite book reviewer. Rena Lanyon gives a well-written review from a youthful perspective.
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I have not a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me Lord." -- Darlene Pringle, Artist

What a wonderful story-in-a-picture, sissie. From the stance with the flag, to the too-big BDU's, to the tennis shoes peeking out from underneath.
