Sunday Sketches - Mother's Day Mare




Wishing you a Happy Mother's Day for Sunday Sketches today.  This is a sketch in my art journal in watercolour crayon (8 1/2" x 11").  It's an expecting mare, I thought it would be perfect for the occasion.



And here's a more traditional Mother's Day offering.  I saw these beautiful roses at Walmart.  My favourite were the pinks as pictured.

    The sketch of the mare is perfect! Are you going to (water)color the pencils more? There are so many pinks in those roses, it is gorgeous.
    Happy Sunday to you!

      I was trying to get away with a quick sketch Claudia, mostly what I do, nothing too perfect.

    What a fabulous sketch. You did a wonderful job. So you are going to have baby. That will be exciting. I love the box with the flowers on it. I have never seen those at our Wally World. I do buy flowers there all the time because I love to take still life shots of them at all stages. Thanks for your visit today.
