momma’s birds
this is just a little peek at what i did on sunday… it’s a rare mom’s art entry, as i usually only post what my little one is up to in her creative world in order to inspire other little ones out there. but today was a perfect, rainy sunday and mommy got her art on while daddy spent some quality time with N (coincidentally, at a bird sanctuary, though the birds there were taking cover from the rain. oh well.)
here’s what i did today:
drawing at the dining room table after breakfast
pencil sketch on my beloved 140 lb arches hot press
inked & inspiration
a small color study
big birds in process
in living color
finished, pre-frame
ikea-framed and hung above our bed
all in a glorious sunday… i don’t think i’ve accomplished any of my own creative projects start to framed finish in one day since N’s birth. these little birds have been wanting to hatch for a looong while now, so i consider this day a milestone for mommy!

love it! it is great to find some time to do your own thing. i wish that could happen every Sunday. and, hey, who has time to make the bed when you are going from blank paper to framed art in one afternoon?
Jen, they are wonderful! So glad you had the time for you. I know it’s rare in a mommy world, but I don’t know a better way to spend it….creativity.
