Drawing from Heifer International picture



 


This is a drawing I did some time ago....like, maybe 10 years!!!!!   I was cleaning up my old sketchbooks and found it there.  I really like it and so thought I would share it here.   It is from a photo in the Heifer International magazine, I think.  I had donated to a family in Pakistan and so now I can fantasize that it is the women in that family with a lamb they purchased with my donation.  I have no proof, but I like that thought.

Smith Home


It has been awhile since I have posted on this blog.  This is my latest painting.  It is of Louisa and Peter's house on E ST SE here in DC.  It was fun to do it and the colors in the painting are a little more vivid than those shown here---but not much.  I deliberately made the houses on either side a little less detailed.  The woman in the front yard (gardening) is Louisa.

One of the most fun things about this painting is that Griffin remembered the red wagon that is beside the steps.  It was fun to do this...a place of lots of good memories.
