A merry Monday to you! Today is warm enough for us to throw the windows open and go outside barefoot (and not feel like running in and soaking our feet in hot water afterwards). The Cardinals, Carolina Wrens, and Purple Finches have been singing their little hearts out with pure joy (and we don't have the heart to tell them that it's supposed to snow by the weekend!), and the daffodils are peeking up from the earth~ Truly a gift from the Lord.
I was going through my various and sundry sketchbooks recently, and had to laugh at all the "additions" to my drawings.
Can you see the purple "lightning" in this one?
The black scribble on this one is actually artistic!
No drawing is complete without a spider and turtle in the corner!
This is one is just one of many pages of just pure joyous expression~
Some drawings have actually managed to escape being added onto, and these look a little drab in comparison, don't you think?
Even though my artwork may not be perfect enough to be of value to the world, they have a special place in my heart, and I know I will cherish them even more when my little scribblers have all grown up into artists in their own right. Who knows, maybe we'll all make something amazing together someday!
I hope this brought a smile to you today. Cherish the days; they fly by!
Love,
Marqueta

I would say that your sketchbooks are of great value to anyone who views them. Your little wren is VERY good, indeed. And to have so many little "extra" contributions to the drawings... I think everyone involved should sign their name!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely ~ very lovely keepsakes and your artwork looks great!
ReplyDeleteThey'll go onto great things!!

Wonderful! When I look at my own nature sketches I don't think of the things I drew, but instead I remember what me and my children were doing in that place and moment. Which of course makes them much more meaningful.
