Nora and daughters’ Lois and Lucille. Looking through old pictures in my mothers’ baby book I came across this picture of my great aunt Nora and cousins Lois and Lucille. I saw a lot in the photo; family likenesses and emotion that I felt the need to draw a portrait of them.

What can I say I will always love the evergreens and I had fun doing a very simple and green picture using pastels.

Springtime flowers always bring a sense of joy.Springtime and Autumn are my favorite seasons of the year. The flowers of the spring amaze me with the variety of color and scent that fills the air.I don’t think anyone could ever tire of a flower.

I always liked this picture of my mother and decided to sketch it one day when I was doing some drawing.
