Vintage Beauty -Paint Party Friday


Years ago, I found a photo of an old lady wearing a hat made of sticks.  I fell in love with her whimsical face and beautiful wrinkles.  It makes me happy to look into her eyes--I'm so glad I finally sketched her likeness.  

I have not been feeling very well--it is just a simple summer cold, but boy oh boy, I can sneeze.  You know something is amiss when one sneezes and the air pressure from that sneeze lifts the roof from the walls!  

Anyhow, whilst I was ill, I found solace in drawing.  I finished this graphite sketch a couple of days ago.  When I draw the world fades away, even when I'm feeling awful.  

Happy Paint Party Friday, all you wonderful artists and beautiful people. May God bless you, dear ones, with His joy and peace.  Have a lovely weekend and thank you for dropping by.

Vintage Beauty -Guest Heart Thursday


My children gave me some Strathmore gray toned sketch paper with Prismacolor black and white pencils.  This is my first attempt drawing within this medium.  My inspiration was an old postcard I love.  Of course I've hidden hearts in this drawing.

Have a beautiful day and Happy Guest Heart Thursday.
