Happy Memorial Day

I know I’m not usually on top of the holidays - but, hey! I’m here.  Everyone’s here (no school).  I hope everyone has a nice Memorial Day and that we take a moment to remember those who have fought for us so we could maintain our freedom.  Freedom isn’t free - it requires constant vigilance and much responsibility by those who hold it (us!).  I hope we treasure it, are careful with it, and are not so eager to give it away into the hands of those who would mis-use it.   Stepping off soapbox now.

I’ve been experimenting a little with encaustics - just a few more small paintings.  I’ll post those soon.  In the meantime, here’s a little drawing I did for my niece:

You can download a free pdf copy for printing here.  Yes, I know the proportions are a little off… I’m not worried about it… I just did this while on the phone with family last night, and I just did it for fun.  I thought it would be a fun thing to share - maybe you know a little girl one who might like to color it.  Feel free to print a copy.

That’s all for today.  Hope your weekend is fabulous!

    I printed a copy for my niece, who I will be seeing tonight. Thanks! Even when you are doing a quick drawing while on the phone, it turns out awesome. You are so talented.

    Thanks for sharing Amy. My girls were talking with each other about what a great artist you are! Elaina’s only complaint was the “seaweed” in her hair =) I think it gives her personality!
    Now you will have to do a quick one for the boys!
