Sunday Sketches - Last of Winter

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.
