Here in the US we're celebrating mothers today.
As I just wrote to my niece (who has 3 kids and is always kept busy looking after them):
"I know mommas work their fingers to the bone and don’t always get acknowledgement for all their hard work — so I hope you are feeling a special warmth and Blessing from your family and the Lord today!"
So if you're a mother too — whether your kids are grown and out on their own — or you're still wiping noses and bandaging scraped knees — I hope you feel loved and appreciated today!
-------------------------------
I've been feeling a little recharged in the art department myself after taking some time off from drawing and painting all the time.
Recently and somewhat naturally I began making art again — and I feel refreshed by taking that time off.
In my last post I shared a pastel pencil portrait I did for a nephew — that kinda got me started again.

(Also, I've been working with 3D animation software and hope I can share some of those efforts soon too)
-------------------------------
Today I'll share a pastel pencil photo study I just finished.
In the past, I've always really labored over my artwork and recently I've been feeling more relaxed and am working way more quickly than before.
Years ago I heard an expression, "Perfectionism is the enemy of art" — and the more I work at this thing the more I understand that.
Anywho — here's my draw'ring.
Have a Happy Mother's Day!
