Illustration Friday – Shaky

She was the shy one - and she loved to dance - and it didn't matter how many times she got on stage, she was always a little shaky to start.'

Happy 4th everyone!

Illustration Friday - Drifting

Oh, it is so nice to be back with an IF entry! It's been so crazy the last few weeks that I have not had time to post anything or even spend time looking at the IF site. So, here' my entry for "drifting." This piece is based on a Vettriano piece - was done a while back for a "takeoff on an artist" piece. It's called "Drifters."

Illustration Friday – Contagious

Oh, to dance...and have it be contagious! I did this piece a while ago (called Dancing in the Wild) - just didn't have time to do anything new this week! Thought it kind of fits the theme.

Illustration Friday – Parade

The only thing she could do was watch the parade go by...she was locked on the edge of time.

Illustration Friday – Hierarchy

Her new hairdo put her at the top of the hierarchy! Just finished this one and couldn't resist. I think it kind of fits...

Illustration Friday – Theater

When I saw the topic for this week, I thought how appropriate it was for our house this weekend! My daugher, hannah, is in her last middle school musical, as the Baker's Wife in Into the Woods - by the wonderfully awesome Stephen Sondheim. And my equally awesome daughter did the most fabulous job! It was great fun. I'm posting a piece that I did a while ago called Waiting to Enter. It seemed appropriate with the whole waiting in the wings thing as I saw Hannah peeking out from the wings and giving us a thumbs up before the show began.

IF – Impossibility

There were so many ways to go with this week's topic...I decided to use a piece that I finished several months ago and haven't really done anything with. It's called A Place to Call Home - and I started thinking what an impossibility it is for those who have no place to live, to even imagine having a house, an apartment, a room. And how very blessed we are to have a nice, safe place to live that we call home.
