I found my old sketch book in the closet this week. Lower left above, is a folder I made at age 16 by stapling 2 pieces of poster board together..
 |
| these were done with magic markers |
Above collage is just a few examples of the ones I drew on plywood and my brother cut them out, I painted them and she hung them on the daycare walls.
In 1975 I bought a book that said Teach yourself to do water-painting
Eagle and the Lion were my only attempts.
Florida Redneck Medical Dictionary.... I found this in a drawer... so watch out, there will be more.
Artery ........... the study of painting
Tablet...... a small table
Oh my GOSH!!! This second collage! You are an artist, I had no idea! And you didn't even use stencils or trace or anything?? The second collage looks just like a Disney illustrator did it. All the rest is wonderful, too. I really admire this kind of talent, because I can't even draw a good stick man. I ADORE the redneck words, keep them coming, more!
ReplyDeleteWoof! Woof! Oh my like my mom loves to draw Pooh Bear. Great drawings n sketches. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteI think these drawings are very goo.....considering they were your early drawings. You muct have been proud of yourself.

You have a talent that you should pursue! Do you enjoy drawing? Maybe you could draw doggies. :) Raise some money for shelter pups. :) Great stuff here, Sandra!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...I see some talent there my friend :) I like the eagle very much.
ReplyDeleteThose are all great. I love your Disney collage and your sketches. I did a lot of drawings in high school but I didn't keep any of my work. It's wonderful that you still have yours.
ReplyDeleteRedneck humor is always funny.
How fun to see your wonderful sketches. Love the medical dictionary!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother talent for our Madsnapper I am so impressed! Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteYou are talented, my Dear.
ReplyDeleteDo you do any, anymore????
Or have you changed, to "making art" with your camera?
You could do both, you know. :-))))))))))
You had the "eye" even before you had the camera. Great pieces!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Wonderful, Sandra!
ReplyDeleteHey they aren't half bad! How cool you still have them. Deccy x
ReplyDeleteYou should have kept at it! I like that lion! I have some of my old drawings from childhood and school too - and I did take watercolour classes later in life. It was my accident in 2000 that put an end to it, I could not hold a brush without getting cramps, and I've not really taken it up again since.
ReplyDeleteYou need to quit hiding that talent under the bushel basket, and let it shine. Great work!!
ReplyDeleteSandra you have another talent!! This is so awesome. I like every one of the pictures you drew - I love the Disney characters. I love Pooh too! sandie
ReplyDeleteI like the idea that you used your talent to brighten that day care centre. I think that creative talent has continued in your life in different ways. The medical dictionary joke definitions are amusing.
ReplyDeletevery cool! i like finding old treasures of my old self now and then. :) i have a few scrapbooks from high school days, too.
ReplyDeleteI like the lion!
ReplyDeleteYou are very talented, my friend! Do you still draw and paint?
ReplyDeleteSandra NOW I see you have an artist eye for detail in your beautiful pictures and now in your photos!!
ReplyDeleteYour drawings are amazing!!
Thank you for sharing and looking forward to more of your finds.
Hugs madi and Mom
Like everyone else has said, you have such talent. You must pursue it again. I'm glad you kept your sketch book and are sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteKeep the Redneck definitions coming too please.
Great work. If I showed my drawings no one would know what they were supposed to be. An artist I am not.
ReplyDeleteAn artist? Who knew? I am jealous of your leave drawings. I always wanted to be able to draw good leaves.
ReplyDeleteHow cool to find these treasures, Sandra!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you were such an artist. Your sketches are wonderful. How fun finding those, a nice trip down memory lane. Had you ever considered being a painter or something with art?
ReplyDeleteWOW Sandra, you have such wonderful talents. Thanks for sharing these with all of us. Have you considered sketching again?
ReplyDeleteGirl, you are an arteest!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful work. Do you miss the doing of it?
I just knew it.... we have to much in common for you not to be an artist too. That ability is still there...get yourself a sharpie pen and sketch book....let them doodle out. :)♥
ReplyDeleteGood grief! You never told us this before. Isn't it fun to come across those things. Love the drawings and watercolors. BTW, I hope you'll keep that header up at least all the way through our long, cold winter. It really warms my heart!
ReplyDeleteWow! You are quite the drawer! I love it that you kept all your sketches. A very good way to remises. Wonderful!
ReplyDeletexo Catherine
I would have loved to have been able to sketch...and I did try...but never any good at it. You, on the other hand, had talent from the looks of this!
ReplyDeleteWhat remarkable gifts you have. Hope you'll share more with us.
