I have to admit it is a bit exciting to be trapped in one’s home because the stairs have been removed. I guess I don’t need to feel guilty about not going to the gym today. I feel like Rapunzel trapped in my tower. Maybe Toby can drive his van up to my window and I can hop out.

It’s a Girl! It’s a Girl!

I am the aunt of another niece! Remember this sister-in-law that I painted a mural with this last Christmas? Well, she had a girl this morning. Yay! I’m the super Aunt who now has FIVE nieces!

Illustration Friday: sorrow.

I don’t know about this illustration. I’ve drawn plenty of things when I’ve been sorrowful but none of them seemed right for today. I don’t think this illustration is as strong as it could be because the idea in my head kept getting morphed and morphed and now it’s what it is. But I thought about all the times when I’ve been in the depths of despair and this praying to God seems to be where I go when I hit rock bottom. It’s a shame I only seem to have faith when things are bad, but at the same time I’m glad I do have that. I was thinking what it must look like to God to see all these people crying “why?” over and over. It’s funny how sorrow never seems to make sense at the time.

Usually I like to leave Illustration Friday posts up into the weekend but I don’t know if I can leave this one up. It just kinda puts a bummer spin on the weekend. I’ll think of something. In the meantime check out the other guys. Some people really found joy in their interpretations.
