Paint Party Friday - Cute Socks

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! One of my sisters broke her ankle badly on New Year's Day and is now recovering nicely. She visited from Florida recently and showed me the neat scar remaining from her surgery. I loved her cute toe socks too!  She is also wearing a zensah ankle sleeve (rolled back), depicted in orange.  It is a compressor support she wears to bring the swelling down over time.

I am using orange in preparation for the current Creative Tuesdays 'orange' theme.


Here is the complete sketch in my art journal (8 1/2" x 11") in watercolour pencil and crayon:

Cute socks, I've always thought of getting me a paire of those but imagining they won't be good to wear.

Very good sketch of the foot and sock. Hope she recovers soon. I know the 5 months has probably been very slow for her.
