I'm posting 2 drawings for Artober today too.
The next picture is of one of my granddaughters. I call her a pixie because her personality has an undefinable quality to it. She flitters and floats and fidgets and dances through life.
I looked at a photo to draw this picture but I'm disappointed because I wasn't able to capture the slightly defiant expression she had on her face. You can tell by looking at the photo that she didn't want to have the picture made that day. Which made it a perfectly perfect likeness of her.
Very good, my friend. See your drawings of your ladies always have such different expressions. I think that shows true talent. Sounds like your little granddaughter is a bit fiesty. I can't wait to get my envelope. Yoo hoo!
ReplyDeleteIn the past 24 hours I have taken at least a dozen, probably more, photos of the sky. This morning at 6:30 I was out in the driveway snapping shots of the glowing, red clouds. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love your drawing of MK -- it has a very Victorian look to it, but then again, MK's features resemble a Victorian valentine. I've always called her a little pixie too.
Such serene, peaceful, soft fluffy sky.....beautiful shots, worth photographing.
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter is so cute...actually I think you did catch that young child defiance...its so cute...their personalities are so adorable at that age...
With sky pix like these, I'd say it is okay to have a Skywatch Tuesday! Lovely sketches of your granddaughters.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. You have a real talent!
ReplyDeleteSkywatch Tuesday? Why not? Great sky pics.
ReplyDeleteAnd great faces - you have a way with eyes. I love the drawing of your granddaughter - she may not look defiant, but you've definitely captured a bit of attitude there!
Your photos were lovely, Stevie.
ReplyDeleteYour sky pics are beautiful. I need to take time to stop and enjoy that kind of beauty more often!
ReplyDeleteHi Stevie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comments on my blog while we were away celebrating our anniversary! I appreciate them, and your friendship, so much! It was a fun and relaxing trip...and I've been moving slow since I got back trying to get back into the everyday groove again.
These drawings are great! I do see the little glint of defiance in your grand daughter's eyes, and the lady looks familiar for some reason.
Autumn skies are always so beautiful --love your photos!
You definitely caught a little look of defiance. Your sketches are excellent especially the one of your granddaughter. Beautiful skyscapes too.
ReplyDeleteMK is proud of her pixie status. Great drawing, Steph! She'll be happy to see it. She is surely the enigma, isn't she? :-)
ReplyDeletei love to study the sky and really appreciate the photos you took. skywatch tuesday sounds like a fun event!! your drawings are great. i can see the pixie in your granddaughter and maybe a little bit of pouting.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, you did capture the defiance.
