Touching and sweet--and her mom loved them!<br /><br />Sketching DOES help us to relax and focus on something besides our anxiety...<br /><br />And Pam, sometimes I don't show my sketches, either! They're not all winners...Kate (Cathy Johnson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03296053923338246127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-5827366265923638362011-01-14T13:48:12.153-06:002011-01-14T13:48:12.153-06:00I agree, thank you Cathy/Kate for this blog and th...I agree, thank you Cathy/Kate for this blog and the sharing you do, and also about sketching the moments of our lives. When I go back and view a sketch in time I don't just see the sketch, or the object sketched, but am reminded of what happened in my life at that time, the big and the small. The guy sleeping on the train? Don't know the guy, but I remember the train ride and the trip. That was a trip to see my Dad in ICU. I didn't sketch Dad in the hospital (I took notes on his condition and Drs names to share with my siblings, and rubbed his back and gave him ice chips...) but I sketched people in the lunch room and waiting areas when I took a break, and it helped me relax and regroup. He's gone now, but those sketches are all related to him and bring back our moments together. At the time, I didn't think he would like to be sketched when he felt so down and out, but now I realize those sketches would be nice for me to have.Carolynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-60526700727624869982011-01-14T12:51:37.110-06:002011-01-14T12:51:37.110-06:00This is why I want/need to practice sketching peop...This is why I want/need to practice sketching people more. We had this same day last summer. I sketched away but..... Let's just say your 'J' looks as handsome as ever when you sketch him. My 'Rob' asked me not to show my record of the day to anyone..... giggle, giggle :) Personally, I don't think he cared for the double chin he has when in a reclined position :)Pam Johnson Brickellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927455773097702525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-10705749155796290122011-01-14T10:10:25.282-06:002011-01-14T10:10:25.282-06:00Delighted to help!
