paint with me thursday

Simply Feather

Okay, so don't make fun of me... I gave this an honest try.... Im still not quite sure how it turned out. It was my first time actually drawing something "real".
The theme was moods and my title is:
"Thoughtful":)

Seriously, this was hard for me to even post because of my fear~ but Trevor just told me to do it and not worry about it 
so that's what I'm doing....
 If you want to join in,
 just click on the link above!
To be honest, Im really enjoying doing this each week and I just know you would too!

I like it too, Sarah. :o)
(I'm glad you listened to Trevor.)
To me, she has uplifting "thoughts" because of her eyes & head tilt.

high five, trevor!

you know, i honestly struggle each week posting my own art! no joke. it's very risky, right? it's very personal. and we all have so many critiques of our own art. i'm proud of you for clicking "publish". the point is not having beautiful, perfect, textbook art--it's having the experience. i'm so glad you gave yourself the experience!

GOOD JOB! I avoid faces like the plague! I did one of myself in high school its a little scary. Did you ever get to the craft store for brushes etc? let me know when you go! by the way YOU ARE AN ARTIST, all art is just art. There is no good or bad. don't compare to others. you have art in you, look how cute your house is!

If this was your first time drawing something "real", Wow! Faces are the hardest thing to draw, in my opinion. You did a great job! Keep it up! I didn't participate this week, but I hope to next week.

she's great! people are beyond me so i think you are SO brave to publish because i wouldn't have even attempted to draw it in the first place and that is the most important part!!!

What? You did an awesome job. I can't draw people or faces for the life of me. I'm glad you braved this out because it turned out wonderful!

Enjoy the day!

Love it! Faces are super hard to draw. You should never feel ashamed of something that comes from your creative heart.

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
