Renewal L Moore (c) 2010- yes she has a story, but that is for another day..
Faeries, Sunday sketches and Mother's Day! Time to question my choices. Was it such a good idea to give up my regular 9-5 so I could be home to raise my heirs? So i could (maybe - i mean really, admit it, is this stuff actually in our control at all? - who do i think i am? overachiever that's for sure) creatively raise my children myself - the way i wanted; with calm (LOL) and reverence, respect, creativity and hard work.
A Gift to the World detail by C Moore age 10 (c) 2010C says "yes, she is pregnant!"
So i could really guide them in cultivating their academic, artistic, physical and spiritual gifts? So i could take the time and do it right, be part of the process, nurture, support; actually hear my children, listen, be at the breakfast table with them, surround them with a beautiful environment. So when the time comes, my husband and i have successors deserving of our amassed fortune! So the world will be a better place.
A Gift to the World by C Moore age 10 (c) 2010Ok, it hasn't been that simple, or that calm but our children are happy, hard working, amazingly bright, creative, talented (probably yours are too) and actually, the credit is all theirs - i have learned more from them than they from me - and the fun is all mine!
Acorn Fairy by T Moore age 12 (c) 2010Yup, the right choice - absolutely!
Oooooh and look what i found in the art room from 5 years ago today, painted by our then 5 year old - its titled Happy Mother's Day but if should be called Joy!

ReplyDeleteYour sketch is lovely. I love what appears to be little colored stones around the wings. I adore it! :) And as always, adore your children's sketches as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to you!!
Thanx Sophia the sketch is actually of a felted doll i made for a friend and also a felting workshop i have taught over the years. The stones, are beads. She is a milagro (the felted version) I will post her story.
