Mirror Selfie in Royal Blue Dress

Image
                                                                                   Artist's comments ... Taking selfies is fun. Drawing a selfie is hard.  In addition to the skill level required, you really have to pay attention to all of your imperfections... It reminds me that self-acceptance is very important. One may not necessarily be beautiful, but self-acceptance is beautiful.

Duck in Pond

                                                                                         Artist's comments ... a solitary, peaceful duck in a pond at the park; drawn with chalk and pencil... This duck reminds me that there is beauty in solitude. It swims elegantly and gracefully, unbothered by its single status. It is empowering and calming at the same time.

Boy on Brightly Colored Playground

                                                                                                               Artist's comments ... a young boy with a bright smile enjoying a canopied playground with big shapes and bright colors drawn with pencil and chalk...  Youthful joy makes me feel good.  Exactness is not my goal in my renderings.  Absolute precision is not what I aim for.  In all aspects of my life, perfection is non-existent.  And yet, a measure of satisfaction is still attained.

Red Bird on Chair

Image
                                                          Artist's Comments ... a friendly little red bird approached too trustingly, obviously looking for food, then majestically perched itself on the nearby chair at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens...  I feel amazed at how the colors, composition, and lines complement each other so well in the pic.  I want to just keep staring at it. Drawn with chalk and pencil.
