Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Although my kids are young and will be with me for many years to come yet, I'm not looking forward to the day they leave....boo hoo. Kyles :D
this is so true. i felt as though from the moment my son was born I was preparing for him to fly away some day. wishing you lovely days with your last one at home. your art is so moving along with your words.
Remember the old saying about if you love something, let it go, and it will come back to you? It is true, they do come back, but it does not make it any easier to let them go. Nice pictures, Kat
Such a lovely post, Jessie... I think I still have a long way to go, since my eldest is just 8 and the third one's still in the comfort of my womb. But you sure made me think of the future...very touching. :)
Ah Jessie, I know just how you feel. I was talking to my husband the other night about how fast the children have grown and will soon be leaving. I wish I could stop time and keep them with me - I have so enjoyed every minute of being a mom, of having them around me, of parenting them with my husband. But, yes time to let them fly.
Feeling the same way Jessie...my big girl has just turned 18 and my baby 14..there is a part of me that could just burst with pride at what amazing humans they are becoming and another that wants to cry when I think about this period of my mamahood coming to a close. This is my first time by your blog and I feel an instant connection..sending love ♥
oh dearheart! i can only *imagine* being at that place! (ours are 15 and almost 13)...big hugs to you and such a transition...& celebration to all our wings. xox
Beautiful Art to illustrate your words! I have one home too and I've told him as he is the youngest, he's the one that has to stay on and look after me!!!!! He wasn't impressed :( !!!
Me too, but it has its good sides. I feel I am returning to myself after all these years and, no doubt, they will be back. Once a mother, always a mother.
I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately. Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor
I thought this was quite an appropriate word for some of us this week with all this snow! It was very exciting at first to have everyone home on a school day but today they're back and I must say it's nice to have the space again to get on with my own things! I've given my Etsy shop a new lease of life and will be adding these 2 ACEO's later on this morning. I do like drawing birds!
I've finished the painting that I showed you in my last post. Above is a crop of it. Can you see the other bird on the right hand side? It looks as though that's the other bird's reflection doesn't it? As though he's looking in the mirror! Here's another close up crop of the same painting. I made lots of layers of lovely bright pinks, blues and golds and made some scratching zig-zag patterns while the paint was still wet. Here's the whole painting. It measures 40 x 40cm, (that's 16inches square). It's hanging on my kitchen wall at the moment but it will eventually be exhibited in the summer. I'll tell you all about that another day. :) I've put a gallery on my new website, CLICK HERE to see. If you'd like to leave a comment on the guestbook page that would be lovely! :) Bye for now, have a lovely weekend. :) The sun appears to have arrived at last! xx
