Dropping in to say Hi : )

I have spent the week on the phone, either making appointments or getting things in writing
In my spare time I started a large sketch that will be for the 4X5 canvas that will hang in our church : )
I also came across a portfolio bag that was holding all these canvas boards from 2004
This was from my sons 8th grade graduation
I look at it now and think...gosh he has grown
and how far my painting has come.

Oh, those are really neat. I bet it's fun to compare your artwork from year to year. With writing, it's kind of the same way.

Wow! I love your big, bold, colorful art!

I love the sketch for your tree, I feel that there is a freer motion in your pencil strokes. Were you doing this to music?

I had forgotten about this painting of "the boy", it makes me miss him!

I'm starting a tree today with Ray as the trunk and hopefully the branches filled with baby birds in their nest and even a nest with eggs.

I'm feeling it will represent all the care taking Ray has done for the last year between Dan and now me.

I'll see how this evolves, I often start with an idea and vision and it takes on a life of it's own.

Hi Lisa ~ Stopping by through your link on Year of Color blog. Love your art, see the same thing with mine...how it's evolved. Sometimes I look at something I made years earlier and say to myself "what was I thinking?" Then I realize that I had to learn to crawl before I could walk, walk before I could run...
