A Mother and her Sons

I am posting my haiku for this month after a few months of being out of the loop.  It is a picture of my oldest daughter Carly and her two sons, Ethan and Caleb.  When I thought about what soft meant to me, it led me down the path of all the loving relationships which I have in my life.  I am truly a very blessed woman!  I played with the image in photoshop after writing the haiku.  I plan to take it a little farther, but wanted to get what I have posted in a timely fashion. 

Deep within my heart,
memories dance across time,
softly filling me.

Thanks for the challenge which sparked some great time looking through photographs of my favorite people.

Like many of you, I have made a conscious decision to stretch myself and grow in my artistic endeavors this year.  In order to keep myself true to that resolution I have joined two new groups in the last month, this one and the Sketchbook Challenge.  To keep current with the challenges, I will be trying to cross over and create one piece which meets the requirements of both challenges.
My first piece it titled Chrysalis and is a simple drawing of a cocoon sketched first, then inked and color added with Inktense Watercolor Pencils.  To me the butterfly emerging signifies a new, fresh beginning which looks gloriously beautiful!  I am thinking that I would maybe like to recreate this in fabric in the future.
Blessings,

Louise
