Janeys Journey

Holding Paws

My sister Violet is brave and fearless. She holds my paw when we go walking.

 

Behind the screen

The girls like to sit by the screen door and watch the people walk by.  At least Violet does.  Every now and then Gracie peaks out from behind the safety of the door.

 

Breaking

My sister Violet likes to breakdance.  I like ballet.

 
 

Blowing Pretty Bubbles

My sister Violet likes to blow bubbles. I like it when they burst on my nose. They tickle and they match my pants.

One Penny Two

Oil pastels on cardstock and found paper.

 

 
 

The Heavy Thought of Care

Sometimes I think so much about what I want to draw that I don't draw anything.  Sometimes just doing it really is the best thing.  These are with wc crayons and oil pastels and sharpie.  I like how sharpies are so dark and the line is so imperfect.  There's a roughness to the line I like.  If you hesitate, it leaves a mark, a dot where the pen was on the paper too long.  

 

 

 
 
 
 

  
  

Portraits from the Photobooth

American Photobooth - great photos to draw from.  These were drawn upside down and colored with the sides of pencil sticks.  I feel really intimated when drawing faces.  I thought drawing upside down would help.

I like the first 2 best.

Yellow Magic Blankie

My sister Violet likes to read sad stories on yellow magic blankies. Sometimes she reads to me. I love my sister Violet.

Other peoples babies

I searched for sleeping babies on Flickr and found some very inspirational photos.  I also found some very disturbing ones.  Flickr is like the rest of the world.  Be careful.

This baby is here.

 

And here.
