I am also at that point in my life when I am thinking there has to be something more that is more satisfying and less stressful than my current profession is giving me. I am so at piece when I am creating, and feel so bogged down with deadlines and curricula that is forced upon me.<br /><br />Your hatching is spectacular. It is amazing how little stokes, this way and that, can help a picture come alive!<br /><br />I sincerely wish that your wings will form and carry you to where you will feel happy and fulfilled!<br /><br /><br />Happy creating to you!<br /><br />Renee<br />Renee Dowlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273939833989232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-52547539305096117202014-05-19T11:11:41.312-03:002014-05-19T11:11:41.312-03:00I love your sketches - all that crosshatching fasc...I love your sketches - all that crosshatching fascinates me.

All three of those sketches are very very significant in my life!! The banana....for my daughter makes banana bread a few times a month to give away just as I used to...Beardo eats at least one or two a day since I've known him. Those converse....every single creative boy that has come through my house has had a pair of those looking just the same...I remember a time I hunted thrift stores for a size 11 or 12 for kids that stayed here! I found some too. Cupcake and Beardo now have them in every color and still wear them....and last that anirondack chair my dad built...and when I was three I lived all summer in two pushed together with pillows because I had pneumonia and wasn't allowed to run around but it was so hot my mom couldn't keep me in the house..I am also very particular about hands and feet TOO!! You need to frame the converse for your sons room....or market them for cards for boys... LOVE LOVE LOVE Them...and the banana! I am fascinated by Tommy Canes cross hatching!! Wonderful job and I hope you reinvent yourself the way you want it to be.... if only you knew the universe is on your side!! <br /><br /> Big Hugs Giggles Giggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713143985984314202noreply@blogger.com
