“Wearing Mom’s Hat”Colored pencil on Bristol
© Beth S. Macre
My oldest child turned 21 today! So I guess she is my adult child now. Happy Birthday Jessica!
This is a colored pencil drawing that I did many years ago. It was one of my early colored pencil drawings. I’m not even sure what year I drew this. It was probably around 1994 or 1995. When my kids were very small, we would set up the kiddie pool in the back yard. One afternoon, Jessica put on my straw hat and light was shining through the little holes on the hat, so I pulled out my camera and took some pictures. I loved this picture, so I had to draw it. It seems like just yesterday. This one hangs outside her bedroom door in our house.
*HUG* So, you're baby's all grown up now!? I know how you feel. My one and only just turned 21 three weeks ago. *sigh* *sniff* They grow up so fast.
ReplyDeleteLove that beautiful painting, BTW.
Hi Nancy. Thanks.

This painting is one of my favorites and one of my firsts with cp.
A gorgeous portrait! Jessica will always treasure this, I'm sure.
