Day 122 – Happy Mother’s Day to my wonder-full Mom! ( an origami day lily for the love of each of 4 children, 7 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild.) (Taken with instagram)

Day 121 – Collage using magazine paper. This is my goto creative activity when I don’t have the energy (or courage?) to start something new. (Taken with instagram)

Day 120 – More practice sketching faces. (Taken with instagram)

Day 119 – Working on basic drawing skills. Directional gaze (away and down, in this case) and emotion (determined yet pleased) are what I am trying to convey. (Taken with instagram)

Day 118 – “and catch stars that shoot by.” Sketch for the children’s book. (Taken with instagram)

Day 117 – Can’t…keep…eyes…open. Will finish sketch tomorrow. (Taken with instagram)

Day 115 – A collage using magazine paper. (Taken with instagram)

Day 114 – Today I just want to celebrate a toddler’s love of drawing. Stella, 23 mos., holds the pen so precisely and focuses on filling the whole page with marks. I just love watching her. I filled the hearts in her artwork using the Sketches app on my iPhone. (How anyone can draw with any precision using such an app is beyond me.) (Taken with instagram)
