Painted Elephant

Our Son, Anthony

Phew, this was difficult for me. I have little practice with portraits. I enjoyed my struggles though. :) This is a portrait of Anthony at nine years old. He is now 10.

RateMyDrawings continues to raise their ink limit, but somehow I always manage to run low way before I'm ready. The result (background) was not quite what I had intended since I had so little ink to play around with.

Another lunch hour spent drawing with my tablet. :o}

Spent my lunch doodling a bit. Nothing fancy, just a bit of whimsical fun.

OCD - Speech Video 2

Well, this is my second speech for my class. I was able to read a lot less this time, so that was some improvement. We were supposed to focus on movement and gestures this time, so that explains the awkward hand flailing! *grin* I took a million shots before this one. I would do one part perfect, and then something would go wrong, so I'd start over. Then, I'd mess up what I usually got right because I'd gone over it too many times. I finally decided to just get through it, no matter what.

THIS is the result, so pardon my little goof ups there at the end. :o}



I must admit, after watching the videos of my classmates - I felt MUCH better about mine. (I know, sounds terrible, but it's true!) I got on this morning and a classmate said it was the best he'd seen so far, so that was a little boost.

I needed it too, I was literally in knots with muscle spasms the entire way home when I finished this. It's weird - I didn't realize how stressed it was making me, until I actually finished.

I'll be SO glad when this class is BEHIND me!
