I love this sketch of my niece experiencing her first time smelling a flower. It was so cute, she was riding her tricycle and rode up to the flowers and with encouragement smelled her first pollen scent. I couldn’t help but capture this on paper. Her beautiful and radiant smile. The expression as she experiences…

SOLITARY
So alone in the golden field, Standing tall, streching your limbs, Glorifying heaven with your gaze held high, Sheltering the small animals who call you home. Your motherly characteristics shout loud throughout the year, Feeding and shading and who would find sanctuary with you. So beautiful and majestic you stand, Alone in the vast Virginia…
MISTAKES ARE SOMETIMES YUMMY
I love to cook and sometimes bake. The other day I attempted to make my first Bunt Cake. I followed the directions I found online, I tend to use a lot of Betty Crocker recipe’s. My Mother always had their cookbook open to one page or another as I grew up. I don’t really know…

I LOVE MY GRANDMA
Bashing symbols crashing in time with the quick snare, Grasping earbulbs like Grannies mad as a crazed mare, Whipping youthful rears, Correcting childhood mood & quelling immature fear. Taking motherly care, and never, Going too far or too near, Letting babies hearts feel the warmth grow undeterred, Mothering her grandbabies forever.
