Finally. I don't think I've actually recorded this painting~drawing here before, but I know I've mentioned it before, especially to Hazel in viewing her wonderful watercolor paintings. I love this piece of art. My buddy Shawn in Jr. High created this. I was always so impressed with his drawing skills. This was a free time activity that a group of us would do...water color a paper and see what you see in it. I used to do this with school age kids a lot. Shawn executed this idea with the most pleasing results, as seen by the fact that I saved this one of his, none of mine.
I don't think much more background story is needed, you can make up your own from the drawings. I'll only say that I did "boost" the color a bit because of the lighting in here making it hard to get a good pic. I also took lots of pics as I have so many favorite 'guys' to focus on! Additionally, I'm throwing in some old Jude quotes I came upon today. Enjoy.

There is something about the line quality that reminds me of Michelle...
Jude~ So very much reminds me of Michelle, daily thoughts. Although Shawn's "creature" style was different than yours is, I think of you when I look at this...folks who can draw.
Oh, wow. His work & that you saved it all of these years! I like your quote of yourself, "what it isn't." This kind of painting is almost always satisfying for kids (& me), because of the letting go without intention, and then the discovery.
Process...that's what it's all about.
Hazel~ Right?! I think he had so much talent for a young age. It has hung in my houses, various rooms for years! Isn't it funny that I wrote that comment down to save it! lol Yes, the letting go without worrying about an outcome.
Deb~ Yes, the process, the best part!
