The Saturday Sketch


And I'm back...
I wanted to start with this drawing because it signifies the beginning of my serious drawings, where I tried to start drawing the things that inspired me or that actually had a significance. In other words this is the beginning of my journal of drawings. I drew this first drawing on 12/20/05 with my aunt who is an incredible artist and is studying at an art school now. We found a statue of this angel and decided that we would draw it together and then show each other our drawings when we were done. So with that being said, I want to dedicate this drawing to my Aunt Pam.

Well your Aunt Pam is a very blessed person! Fantastic drawing. I do love to see such things!

You have inspired me. The other day I was sorting through my art stuff and I found some oil pastels. These particular ones had not been used very much because of my lack of...discipline. (;

Anyway...I decided to use them. I had high hopes that after a year of little or no effort in art I would do WELL.

I drew a picture of what I always do. A pond. A tree. And mountains.

It looked...okay. I guess.
The tree was magnificent!
Compared to the...uh...er...pond.

Maybe I'll cut out the tree part.

All that to say, thank you Julia for inspiring your undisciplined friend.

Who knows?

My tree may sell for millions one day...

hehehehe,lol...
Well i am so glad I inspired you, I was hoping that people wouldn't think that I was being proud by posting my anything but perfect pictures, but it seems that is not the case.
I want to see your picture...you should post it on your blog :) I have never been good at painting and pastel, just the good ol' pencil for me. I am very glad you liked it. Thanks for everything Faith, until later...xox

P.S. I think that I might be coming to Florida in May with my dad... that would be really exciting. Anyway,we shall see...

Oh no, no, no. I refuse to subject myself in such a way!! I said the tree is magnificent TO ME.

*smirk*

AHHH! My mom just told me that the other day! I can hardly wait. It will be so fun!

If you come that is.

We must find admittance...

Hello dear sister!
Well I'm not sure how I missed this before, but I'm glad you reminded me off it so I could come see this beautiful drawing of yours and the lovely accompanying post.
I hope you keep your sketch journal up... you have such a talent and it is a joy to see you using it.

I'll see you later today.
I love you!
