Happy Mother's Day to all the moms! I gave my mom a photo album with family photos of the extended family that I had collected over the year. Her memory is getting progressively worse and she was very interested in looking through all the photos. I had some photos of her with her 2 sisters who live in Florida. She strangely recognized one of their husbands, remarking that he hadn't changed over the years. She didn't recognize people who I thought she would have known. The hardest was to remember the grandkids who live abroad, but that is understandable, everyone grows up so fast. I decided to write names beside all the people in the album for future reference.
It's time for Sunday Sketches, this one is called 'The Last of Winter', done on a (3" x 3") post-it note in a combination of watercolour crayon, watercolour pencil and some acrylic paint. That is supposed to be water from a river or lake in the background.

What a nice gift!
Dementia is such a deal breaker. You can't even fry an egg.
How sweet of you to create such an album for your mom. Have I mentioned that you ROCK the post-it notes? Love your art...and on such a small "canvas." Amazing!

Happy Mother's Day
Another great post-it piece. And YAY! for "The Last of Winter!"
I love your post-it-note picture. It looks great how you painted nature and looking at this picture makes me feel really good :) It's also interesting to see how you reated this with three different mediums (acryl pencil and watercolor crayon) I think I will also try it shortly. Thank you for sharing! And I wish you all well for your mom.
Wonderful gift that you made your mom.
