My daughter, Kate, made a New Year’s resolution to spend some time with her art each day. A working nurse, a mother of four (two teenagers and two young adults), a devoted grandmother, and a tattoo artist who travels from Michigan to South Carolina regularly for work…this was a huge commitment! And yet, she is doing it. Every other day or so, I see a beautiful new drawing. She has covered, as you see here, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, Gene Wilder as Young Frankenstein, and David Bowie at his sexiest. She has others, each one more precious than the last. I’m pleased to be able to show them off, for a couple reasons. First, because she’s very skilled, and I’m extremely proud of her. Second, because I still have nothing new of my own to show!
These are beautiful! What a talented daughter. Thanks for sharing her art with the world.
If I haven’t said it, have a wonderful and creative New Year, Cindy!
Thank you so much, Martha! I wish the same for you!
I really love these!
Aren’t they wonderful? She has a way with colored pencils, definitely! Thank you for your comments!
Thank you, Anne Marie, so do I!
Wow, these are amazing. She’s talented just like you!
Thanks, Suzy, I’m very proud of her!
I sigh over this kind of skill.
Thank you. Me, too!
Wow, great portraits! It’s not fair that you’ve kept all the talent in your family leaving none for people like me. Well, if I can’t create works of art I can always admire them, and these are wonderful.
Thanks, Sara, I’m really proud of her.
What a great talent. Must have gotten that from Mom.
Thanks for your comment. I think she has surpassed me in many areas…colored pencil drawing is certainly one of them!
The princess is beautiful.
Isn’t that good?! I love her colored pencil drawings!
Wow! I am blown away! Wonderful, Kate! Thank you for sharing, Cindy!
Thanks, Kate, she is very good, isn’t she? I’m very proud of her.
they are all wonderful! thank you so much for sharing her work with us!!!!
She does lovely work, Lisa! She started young…writing on the walls, sheets, and her blue jeans. I’m very proud of her. Thanks!
ha.. i remember being home sick and did not go to school.. i painted a ‘filly’ on the back of the door to my bedroom!
She had a great mentor! You surely encouraged and praised all that she did!
