The years have just flown by and I find it hard to believe that it has been 8 amazing years since my entrance into the grandmother club. I started just over a year ago creating a special birthday sketch for each of my grandchildren for their birthday. Usually they consist of a matted 5x7 ink and colored pencil sketch of themselves or something special to celebrate their special day. Sometimes I have even included a special poem. As I draw, I make a habit of praying for each of them and asking God to bless their year, protect their family and bring them to a saving knowledge of His love and sacrifice.
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of spending the whole day out in Boulder City at the art gallery there fulfilling my co-op responsibilities. It is a lovely gallery and I find that it is a perfect place to bring my sketchbook and draw between customers. I had only penciled a rough outline of what I had in mind for my grandson's birthday sketch. Mom had sent me a picture of him trying on a cowboy hat that was just adorable so after I settled in at the gallery I pulled out my sketchbook and got started finishing my the sketch shown below.
I really like how this little sketch turned out of Gavin and his dog Bella and I think he will like it too. Let me know what you think and if you're interested in seeing more of my work, please check out my website at JulieTownsendStudio.com.
