A Quick Charcoal Sketch

Just really quickly done...lots of mistakes. But it did feel very good to get my hands dirty! I have been lesson planning and grading papers ALL weekend, so I needed an escape.

I envy people with artistic talent more than I envy people with money. It must be so nice to have something so therapeutic to put your time and energy into. The piece looks amazing. I bet you're one of those lucky ones born with that gift.

That is beautiful. My daughter's friend at school did a pencil drawing of my daughter and her boyfriend for his 18th .. it's stunning. I so admire people who can draw.

I did a little acrylic painting tonight. This is Magpie in Pine...the Pine represents long life and the Magpie represents happiness.

I'm giving it to a coworker who just got married this month. Wishes for a marriage that is long and happy.
