I went back and found this old drawing that 
someone had made of me and two of my sisters...

Its funny to look at it!
I remember when we looked like that!
I don't know who did it all I know is my mom had given it to me a long time ago,
I have it in my studio...


thats Debbie, Cathe, and me

I used it for inspiration...
I gesso'd and put some random color on the page
I wanted to keep it light and bright...
after all we are children of the 80's!(and late 70's)


I thought i took pictures as I drew but i guess i didn't...
SORRY

I redrew the picture of me on the right side in pencil,
then went over it with a black ink pen


put lines on the right...


and wrote myself a letter...


Simple, but done!!!

Almost done with August...
just have to post the last one! 
Only a month behind! 
I'am determined to catch up!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

  3. How perfectly wonderful. I often speak to my younger self. I wonder what she would have done in my place--but that is an odd thought to be sure! :D I love your artwork, my dear.

  4. Great that you have that memento from your past. Loved seeing how it inspired this spread. The colors you used have a very romantic feeling that gives you that time travel feel. Well done. Glad I stopped by.
