A Quiet Place

A Quiet Place

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was a very serene place we visited on Whidbey Island, Washington State. We were walking around the property with the thought of buying it and came across a little foot bridge and saw a secluded area with a bench.It was such a quiet and reflective place.

Who doesn’t like to look up into the clouds and take a moment to reflect?As a girl I used to lay on my back and look up at the sky and watch the clouds go by and all my cares with them.

Safe in a Mothers' Arms

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

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.
