Sweet Madrona -Paint Party Friday

I am friends with a very small girl who's imagination reminds me of my own when I was her age.  Madrona is such a wonderful little person.  Her stories are magnificent and her laughter is contagious.  I am the most blessed Auntie in the world.  I have wonderful nieces.

The wind is blowing yellow leaves past my window.  It is a beautiful Fall day.  Have a wonderful weekend, dear ones.  Thank you for your visit--your comments truly bring joy to my heart.  Happy paint Party Friday!

 

Dancing with Roses -Paint Party Friday

I have been pretty busy--not enough time to draw.  It is the Fourth of July. Between the holiday and all the deadlines for the non-profit I run, I have been nearly overwhelmed.  This is a drawing from over 40 years ago--when I was just a teenager.  I loved fairies and flowers with faces even then.

Have a lovely weekend, sweet Friends!  Happy Paint Party Friday!

Flower Hat -Guest Heart Thursday

I've had my little niece over all this month and we have had a wonderful time so far.  We make crafts, go for walks, play in the creek--bring home things like mashed flowers, interesting seeds, ancient bottles and old bones.  We also play dress up.  I could not resist drawing her here.  And, of course there are hearts hidden all throughout the drawing.

Everyone should see life through the eyes of a child.  It has a precious shine to it.  Have a lovely day!

Curls - Daily Doodle

This is a little girl I doodled in my sketchbook yesterday, while listening to a wonderful talk about how precious children are to God.  I've been working on learning the style of Art Nouveau, in particular the wonderful artwork of Alphonse Mucha.  I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.

I am going to share more of my daily "doodlings" in the weeks ahead.  There are various styles I'm attempting to learn, some odd things, some funny things--workings of my mind through doodles, which I think you will enjoy.

Heart Hug - Guest Heart Thursday

This is my niece.  She is the light of my eyes--and she LOVED this picture of herself hugging the little smiling heart.  I am SO blessed to see the world through the eyes of a three-year-old!
