The Sketchbook Challenge has begun!
"Highly Prized" is this month's theme. A good theme, but difficult. I know what I prize, what I cherish, but I'm not a 'people drawer' and it seems unfair to my beloved husband to try and depict him...though I may find the courage as the month progresses...
As you can see from the photo below, I drew from these art show ribbons (ironically, my husb's ribbons! I've only ever won 2 ribbons, and it was years ago). I listed, in the background, a stream-of-consciousness listing of what I 'highly prized.'
More lovely work as usual. (Somehow I managed to get through this morning to your comment window. Go figure.)
ReplyDeleteI love the endearments behind the ribbons. What a lovely tribute to your "prize". :) This is such a joy and I look forward to seeing everyone's many colors. Happy New Year Jane!
ReplyDeleteDear Jane,
ReplyDeleteI also am part of the Sketchbook Challenge (and today I shouldn't be on the computer because I'm preparing for my exhibit in downtown Fort Myers Tomorrow--have to get some wire on my paintings!). Yet,I had to tell you how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE your sketch because it is difficult to honor your love from --and your love of-- the most important person in the world. I almost sketched something thinking about the love of my husband this morning and I'm glad I didn't because not only did you sketch prize ribbons--your sketch is prize worthy. Not just the topic but the drawing is excellent. I really want to win this challenge so giving you this GIANT and SINCERE compliment is chancy--but one I have to take! LOL :)
Happy New Year--Sketch onward!!
