Tree

Hello there!  It's been a while, I know!  Well, this was going to be my submission for Illustration Friday's word tree, but I didn't get it finished in time!  Oh well...!  My children are all done with soccer season and on to basketball and gymnastics...this means, though, not as many nights out at practices...only 2 nights a week as compared to the 6 days a week we were spending at soccer...SO this means I have much more time to draw and paint and play...yay!  

Illustration Friday - Silent

Here's my submission for IF's word silent.  One of my favorite things in the world to do as a child was to lay in the snow by myself and just listen to the silence.  It was so peaceful...no sounds just me, the snow and the sky.  I often wondered what our snowmen felt after me and my siblings went inside for the day.  Were they sad that the fun of the day was over?  Or were they happy to have the night sky to themselves? 

I did this painting with a little bit of everything...watercolor, guoache, acrylic, charcoal pencil and salt!  It was fun to finally have the time to play!  I may even use this for our Christmas card!

Happy Holidays!
