Colette says her mom taught her to see on their walk when she said "Look" and pointed out the world to her.

I joined the big draw a few days, maybe even a week late last year and it was fine. If you still want to.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the kind words re: angel.And drawings.

Had to chuckle about your hiding your eraser. Using loose leaf paper seems less threatening I guess. I once had a huge roll of brown paper which my son used to draw and paint on when little, but I also. It too seemed less threatening than a blank white page.sukipoethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-31322380118264208402008-10-03T02:40:00.000-04:002008-10-03T02:40:00.000-04:00Good Suki.<BR/><BR/>It is all about practice and the eyes which see, isn't it :-)Britt-Arnhildhttp://www.brittarnhildshouseinthewoods.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-61073103572104740782008-10-02T21:58:00.000-04:002008-10-02T21:58:00.000-04:00Catching up on all your lovely posts. The colour in your angel painting is so soft, yet vibrant at the same time - I love it!<BR/><BR/>Glad you&#39;re in the big draw again. I will check in every day, your drawings are just great. <BR/><BR/>I love pen &amp; ink drawings too and I am inspired to do some now (probably a little late to join the big draw tho) except I&#39;m supposed to be making some ATC&#39;s. So much to create &amp; so little time!:)<BR/><BR/>Privacy in the studio? I like to be in the studio when no-one else is around, (door open so dog &amp; cat can wander in &amp; out &amp; so I don&#39;t feel too much like a hermit!) <BR/><BR/>Cos when everyone is home they walk past and disturb me, or stop to talk, which is lovely, but breaks the creative meditation.pattihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06293378341445115577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-4613567768062233392008-10-02T19:45:00.000-04:002008-10-02T19:45:00.000-04:00Suki, that is so sweet to offer to give me a drawing, but I really think they are worth something.

So how I got myself drawing, just before The Big Draw actually, was to use my sharpie fine pen and looseleaf paper. I'm learning a lot that way actually. Oh, and when I use pencil I hide my eraser - so I have to work harder to make changes. Sometimes it is whatever works :)differenceayearmakeshttp://differenceayearmakes.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-35142171984324174462008-10-02T14:27:00.000-04:002008-10-02T14:27:00.000-04:00thanks Natalya.<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth I'm glad you are participating as now we get to hear from you more often.

If you like any of my drawings as we go thru the month just tell me and I'll send them to you. I dont think I could ever charge money for them.

It is terrifying! But look at you! I don't think you have much of a transition to deal with at all!<BR/><BR/>We do love our cameras, don't we?
