Life has been non stop so my focus has been elsewhere. But I’m still doing things.
Like I started my nephews Christmas presents. I’ve made custom drawn shirts for them threw the years. A few I’ll have to draw them again for my baby. But I decided to make them custom original shirts. 100% original.
Partly done.
This one is for my youngest nephew. The claw is a stencil I made four years ago. And the stars are all hand drawn.
I’m thinking about making a stencil, but we shall see. It’s not taking me that long to draw the stars. This amount took me maybe 3hrs. The last shirts I did with stars, it took me a few days. Maybe since I have less to do now.
But I’ll show you the finished product when I’m done.
The older nephew’s shirt is same design but since he is taller I’m doing the stars diagonally vertical. I’m excited to see the end result. I need to finish them soon and ship them. The shipping process is still incredibly slow…so I must be quick!
Well I decided to try and make my small drawings into one cohesive piece. I’m slowly coloring it.
The baby has decided to fight me on dinner. She gets the goods stuff and she argues with me about eating it…
But here is my drawing so far.
These were my drawings that jumped out to me. A happy frog (from online site neopets) 2007Classic Couple! 2008Tinker bell 2011King Saul veggie tales- 2005
2005…that’s 16 years ago…that’s crazy but awesome that I still have art that far back.
So far
I know drawing random things is maybe not the best, but it keeps the creativity and skills alive.
I must say…I love the Donald and Daisy Duck part. I think I might paint this a bit larger and hang it up somewhere. Definitely represents all married people perfectly.
At a Subway in West Yellowstone. An interesting place to find such pretty flowers. I really love photographs of flowers. I’ve done this for so many years.

This one I took while we drove home, with the window up. The hubby was going 70! 😎 (Most of my photos are taken when I’m in the passenger seat.

Another photo while on an adventure in the passenger seat. I have several different edit versions of the photo.

Chicken coop and a keep…and quietness! Another adventure. Country living is the best! The wide open spaces and slow paced living.
“Whispering Aspens” Photo By: emily2jane 09-23-21
Aspens as we drove through Idaho. Aspens are one of my favorite of God’s creation. The patchy white and black trunks with the fluttering golden leaves…great combination.
Well have a happy Thursday.
Try taking a photo today. Of anything! And edit it in a way you normally wouldn’t; you might surprise yourself. The shadows are key with edits. 💛
Originally I had planned to post a comic, but due to different reasons my self drawing came out terrible… like I looked more like a fifty year old man…haha 😂 So I gave up on that route. I’ll try again another day; when my brain is in the mood to draw my face.
Instead I’ll be posting a few more drawings I’ve done. Yes, some of the drawings were inspired by images from the internet, ten or more years ago. So these new drawings are my impressions of my impressions. Impressions are always the best route to take.
Why would you want to paint someone’s work identical…it’s already been done. Put your own spin on it!
2010
It’s not too bad. I will admit, not too bad for the markers I used here. They were those fifty pack of markers…. I don’t know the brand, but they are like $10 from Walmart.
My first day 2021
Can I just say… I want this dress! Maybe I should take sewing up again… 🤨
2021!
This next completed drawing is a mixture of three separate drawings. I added a bit to fill the spaces, but I actually do love the end result!
These are the three drawings:
201120112010
When you see the finished picture you will see I only used two of the fairies. But I thought it would be too crazy. So I only used the ideas of the flowers; but of course I tweaked them a little.
2021 Finished
This one I framed! I’ve framed others, but only if I really liked the outcome.
2010
As you can see… I was kind of terrible at profiles. I always seemed to chop their noses off…haha! Also the proportions in this drawing seems off.
I do remember though, that the butterfly lines was done with silver sharpie! I will be doing that, or something similar with my 2021 drawing.
2021
I’ve decided to change the colors in this drawing. I want to try something new!
Well I want to continue but…It seems like my baby is getting a little cold. It’s the first day it rained, this season. We needed it desperately, but my daughter just took a two hour nap at 5pm… meaning I’ll be going to bed sometime after 12am. If I’m lucky.
But I’ll be posting my pictures here and there. I’m enjoying going through the pictures, that I chose to draw over ten years ago; reliving my interests.
Enjoy your Friday! We shall see what my brain decides.
