On 01.02.02, I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Too late for surgery, I had chemotherapy, which failed. In May the chemotherapy was changed and I was soon in remission which was celebrated and welcome and lasted nine years - until October 2011. There was progression in 2011 so more treatment was indicated and I am now back in partial remission. But I'm not only a cancer patient - I also enjoy my family, walk my dogs and am learning to draw and paint. Life is good!

Draws in church

Back in church this morning after a few misses, I couldn't help but draw a few of the folks nearby.

This may be a record -- the first time I didn't sit and draw my dog! Actually I did make a tiny sketch of her on a page full of other tiny drawings of Demi.

I haven't learned how to draw the fronts and faces of people yet, I'm apparently destined to forever walk behind the crowd and sketch whatever I see from there.

In the meantime, I came home and drew the second monster for HERE. I keep learning of new folks who want to participate - click on the site and sign yourselves up! The deadline to participate is October 7th and you have until December 1st to do the actual work/play.

If I decide to give these monsters titles I may describe this one as a shy monster trying to look ferocious. What do you think?

  1. I think we are destined to do a lot of 'backs' as that is what we see and can be very quiet about it.

    So good to see another 'church sketcher'. lol

  2. Wonderfully creative monster - I think your shy guy is doing the trick, looks pretty scary to me (in a nerdy way, of course).

  3. I love your sketch of the people in church. The feeling I get is of sitting behind them. The way your picture is drawn pull us in. Good work.

  5. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I laughed when I saw the picture of the people as my thought was, "wow, she drew people and not her dog!" and then that's just what you said.
