After writing the other day that I very much want to learn to sketch, I decided that I had waited long enough, and dug out my copy of The Creative License, by Danny Gregory.  I read the first part of it this morning, and then sat down to make my first attempt at a drawing.  The writing in this book inspires me and fills me with enthusiasm - for the first time, instead of telling myself that this is something I just can't do, I'm deciding that drawing is definitely something I can learn.  And I am going to!  Even if it feels strange, and completely outside of my comfort zone.  Stretching is good, right?

We're getting ready for Mother's Day here - what do you think these will become?

Maybe flowers? My oldest one made a flower in school, and the petals were cut outs of his hands. :)
