Creative Tuesdays - Bouquet

Here is a heartwarming local story of a boy whose lonely birthday turned into something different thanks to social media. He has Asperger's syndrome and none of his classmates accepted his birthday invitation.

Welcome to Creative Tuesdays! The current theme is 'bouquet' and here is mine, in watercolour pencil and crayon on textured cardstock. It's a greeting card.

I love that story, Christine! What a happy day for him. This is one of the things I like about social media. How sad that none of his classmates were willing to be that kind.

And your artwork, as always, is beautiful!

Very seasonal sketching. I need numbers to help me be creative, painting by, and you probably think I'm joking.Thanks for dropping by my blog. I couldn't waste an opportunity to take those photos-:)

Such a touching story. Loneliness can make you sick, so it was wonderful that all of these people showed up to wish him a happy birthday.

I think it's oddly more fascinating that they named their son Odin

Love your delicate tulips and how you use textured coloured card to start your compositions on. I just love all spring flowers, it is probably my favourite season with nature coming alive again.

This is a great reminder of spring. I love the way you wrapped the tulips as a gift. I have read the story as well - beautiful.
Blessings,
Janis

Christine, the color palette you used for your bouquet is so soft and lovely! I had heard of the poor boy's story. So sad. :-( And your design does make for the perfect card. :-)
