The magic of drawing and More from the dresser

tomorrow)

The little silver frame in the drawing here
has always been a favorite.  But until I
sat down to draw it today I didn't know
why it is so perfect.  I never noticed
that it was surrounded with ribbons
connecting a ring of cornucopias (ae).
Drawing is a gift because it opens
our eyes to what is right there.

As symbols of the abundant life the
horns of plenty couldn't be more perfect
to frame the first person who taught me to be
a mother.  The fun we've had as a
family, with two wonderful sons, and
now a daughter-in-law has been
abundant indeed.

Have an enjoying-the-magic-of-drawing day.

  2. Hi Sally,

    Thank you so much. There is no way to "fail" at the Facebook art challenge. I couldn't do it for two weeks after I was asked. There is no deadline. There's no correct order, and I know your Facebook friends would love to see your work in a different forum whenever you feel like putting it on.

    XOXOXOXOXO Barbara
