a turtle named Hope and a self portrait.

I am back drawing again!

For best part of three weeks I just couldn't draw I have really been struggling. Often I see images when I read bible passages. that is what inspires me but the last few weeks I have consistently drawn a blank, almost literally. Its been a heavy going three weeks but finally we have some drawings. I am hoping the biblical imagery will follow!

 A Turtle Called Hope

So imagine my delight when I put pencil to paper and a turtle appears ( water colour pencils.) I don't know what made me draw a turtle but I did. I love drawing beaches. they are lovely I've learnt you leave a gap between the sand and the sea and it looks like the foam of the surf.

A self portrait.

My last attempt looked a lot like Rachel from friends, not really sure about this one - the glasses are wonky and it still doesn't look like me perhaps we are getting better- although I doubt it. I think its because I am no good at observational artwork, I can't copy I never have been able to, writing or  pictures I just can't do it. Still its drawing which excites me!

Art work and Gifts.

I thank God often for my imagination for the fact I can draw things and write stories. I love to be creative. I couldn't think of a time when I didn't enjoy it. we all have different talents. Mine is not for observational artwork but the joy in drawing. and who knows one day I might be able to draw something really brilliant.
