don't laugh.

Last time I was at my mom's I grabbed my high school art portfolio.  Oh my gosh. good to know that I was as immature in high school as I was today. I thought I would share some:

i drew a lot of naked babies.

I asked my husband if I could put this in our bedroom...I told him I would say I modeled it after him.

he said no.




one of my favs.

his face has always bugged me..but I liked the soccer ball.



this one is all just scratches



this one is all dots.


this one I started awhile ago and never finished. I am awesome like that.

another unfinished one


this one is my favorite...
do you see that date...1998. I'm old.

I haven't drawn in years.  I miss it.  my daughter keeps saying, " you really drew all these" I guess drawing the batman symbol time and time again doesn't really show off my skills.

    Now she is being modest here~she won lots of awards at the state fair. I wish I could say I taught her all I know--but she blew me out of the water when she could hold a pencil! :) She really is an amazing artist!!!!!!

    Kim,

    I remember when you drew those. Talk about a flashback. Every now and again I wonder how J. Coles is. Good work. I still have my stuff as well and it is funny to go back and look. I have stuff from college too. crazy how time flies. It seems like it was yesterday

  44. Just this... AliceApril 6, 2011 at 2:57 PM

    You are one talented lady and I would like to see you drawing again and sharing pictures on your blog. This is so inspiring. The last picture I painted on canvas was when my youngest was 18 months old. While I was indisposed she got out of bed and saw the pretty colors and decided she would help Mommy. What had taken me hours painting the house I was born and raised in perfectly only took her a few seconds to.... No more painting for 25 years after that. Then for a daughter I painted a beach scene on an old window for her birthday last year. At 60 I'm thinking I wasted a lot of time not doing something I loved. So please don't give up on yourself the way I did. Keep using your God given talent and you will never regret it. Your artwork is worthy of a place on the walls of your home.Have you ever considered drawing and to sell? I think you could be successful at it. Best Wishes!

    What can you not do girl.

    Your art is amazing as well. Wow!

    You can never say your bored. Either any of us can say that. Look at all you do. I am sure out of all of it we have looked through.it is more then just a glue gun. We can do something with a bottle cap and those jars that are sprayed. Surley. You are a real blessed girl. Do you want to throw some talent down all of our ways. oh did I sense some humor thrown in from you in your blogs at the side lines. Maybe a sit com??

Thanks for your comments!! Unless they are mean. Then I take back my thanks....you are officially unthanked.
