My late mom was always good about this: in her senior years she'd save things up for the kids. Small things she'd bought, or found at garage sales.I like to do the same.
I bought some stickers and send a few at a time.Having a hankering to draw, just for fun, plus trying to use my window crayons in the LTC, where I volunteer, I bought myself a how-to-draw book. Yes, one for kids!
I drew a truck and an apple tree on Art's window. He liked it. He denies culpability to the powers-that-be, he cannot get out of his wheelchair to do them himself. It's our private joke!
I spend time sitting with a new client, for an hour, on a commode. Long story. I began whiling the time away drawing while we talk. Then, I send the artwork to the kids for them to colour.
My real artists friends won't laugh, I know. I admire your skills and talents.
And those of you who are as able as I, with paper and pencil, go for it!

You're a grandma with too much time and too much humor if we could get too much of those! Kids and people appreciate stuff that is personal.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for buying the learn to draw book. I think you are well on your way and I really enjoyed viewing what you have drawn already.
ReplyDeleteWow those are pretty good!! I never thought of just doing an outline and letting kids fill in the color - what an inspired idea!!! You are a good ol' talented Granny!!! Great post! W.C.C.
