Day 5 - 8 of my Figure drawings

Drawing is such an excellent exercise to clarify and to view weak areas.  I am noticing some things as I have been working on these drawings. 
I have come to love drawing my sons...they are BEAUTIUL!
Have you taken time to draw your children?
Have you taken time to look for what your child is good at?
Children live in the NOW!
They are such marvelous teachers.
Are we Humble enough to see how they are our teachers...



I have to tell you about an experience with this son.
Monday this week, I was painting, and I asked my son what do you think?
He said, "It's pretty good, but it's not finished."
I was thinking I was pretty much done -- although I knew I could do more, but I'm always wanting to move things out so I can paint other things.
Well he proceeded to tell me exactly what was needed in the painting.
I just smiled and said, "Good Job!"
He was right on, on what was needed.
So I had to keep working on the paintings.
He reminded me of his dad and how my husband would continually tell me where my problems were and I would always get annoyed because I was the one who had a masters degree in art yet he was always right.
Like Father, like Son!

That is so neat Gwen. Thanks for your comment on my blog--I wish we were closer too, but I'm grateful for things like blogs that give glimpses anyway. I hope your season is bright.
